intraoperative hypothermia is a common complication. Many complications can be developed as a result of intraoperative hypothermia including postanesthesia shivering and wound infection, Therefore the aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of induced normothermia on occurrence of post anesthetic shivering and wound infection among patients undergoing abdominal surgeries. A convenient sample consists of 60 adult male and female patients who was undergo abdominal surgery (hernia repair except inguinal hernia repair, open cholecystectomy) at one of the university hospitals in Cairo governorate was recruited to fulfill the aim. A quasi–experimental design (posttest control group design) was utilized to achieve the aim of the present study by using tool s I, Demographic and medical data Questioner II, Bedside shivering assessment scale (BSAS) III, Asepsis wound scoring system. The study result revealed that 70% of control group complain from hypothermia after 90 minute of anesthesia induction with mean (35.47° C ±.761 ° C). The current study revealed that the use of warm fluid is effective in keeping patient warmed in operation less than two hours with p value═ .000.Study (warmed) group have less occurrence and severity of post anesthesia shivering with p ═ .016 and wound infection with p═ .035.
