Erratum to: Cold temperatures, hot risks: perioperative hypothermia in geriatric patients - a narrative review

Key Points

• Perioperative hypothermia increases the risk of complications in geriatric patients, leading to prolonged hospital stays.
• Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to temperature fluctuations during surgical procedures, risking adverse outcomes.
• Analysis of literature reveals a gap in guidelines for monitoring and managing hypothermia in older adults.
• Highlighting the need for improved strategies shows the importance of managing thermal stability in geriatric surgical care.
