Surv Anesthesiol 2016;60(2):82–83 Surgical Care Improvement Project Infection-10 (SCIP Inf-10) is an SCIP measure intended to reduce hospital-acquired infections and thereby improve quality of perioperative care. It states that patients who undergo surgical procedures lasting 60 minutes or longer should be actively warmed or have a body temperature of 36°C or higher within 30 minutes immediately before or 15 minutes after anesthesia end time.
