<![CDATA[This study investigates the relationship between intraoperative blood loss and the incidence of hypothermia in patients undergoing general anesthesia at PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital. General anesthesia, while commonly used for its effectiveness and patient comfort, is associated with various physiological changes, including postoperative hypothermia. Hypothermia can lead to serious complications such as delayed recovery, increased bleeding, infection risk, and impaired wound healing. One contributing factor is blood loss during surgery, which reduces the body’s ability to regulate temperature. This research employed an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach involving surgical patients who received general anesthesia. Data were collected on the volume of intraoperative bleeding and the presence of hypothermia in the recovery phase. The findings indicate a significant correlation between the amount of blood lost during surgery and the occurrence of hypothermia. These results suggest that early identification and management of blood loss are essential to prevent hypothermia and its associated risks. The study emphasizes the importance of temperature monitoring and bleeding control in improving patient safety and outcomes during surgical procedures involving general anesthesia]]>
