Why do I feel cold after surgery?
Impaired body temperature regulation mechanism after surgery is the main cause of postoperative chills. Anesthetic drugs, surgical trauma and postoperative medication may affect the body's temperature regulation center and cause a drop in body temperature. In addition, the decreased metabolic rate after surgery also exacerbates the trend of decreased body temperature. Therefore, keeping warm after surgery is crucial, and active measures should be taken, such as warm clothing and a warm environment, to avoid complications.
