Impact of Warmed Irrigation Fluid During Shoulder Arthroscopy on Patient Temperature, Recovery, and Cognitive Function: A Prospective Analysis of Influencing Factors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the effects of warmed irrigation fluid during shoulder arthroscopy on patient temperature regulation, recovery outcomes, and cognitive function.
methodsA randomized single-blind prospective study (Level II) and a total of 85 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy at our hospital from February 2022 to April 2023 were selected, all of whom signed informed consent, which was randomly divided into two groups (warmed irrigation fluid group and room temperature fluid group). Among them, there were 29 males (34.1%) and 56 females (65.9%) (male:female ratio = 1:2), with an average age of 60.80 ± 11.70 years (ranging from 19 to 79 years). There were 50 patients (58.8%) aged over 60 and 35 patients (41.2%) aged under 60. All patients were diagnosed with rotator cuff injuries. We recorded primary patient data, anesthesia duration, anesthesia method, surgery duration, intraoperative temperature protection measures, irrigation volume, intraoperative nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures, and preoperative and postoperative Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of warmed irrigation fluid on patient temperature, recovery, and cognitive status.
resultsAnalysis of the data from the 85 shoulder arthroscopy patients indicated that warming the irrigation fluid effectively prevented a decrease in core body temperature (nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures), with significant differences observed at 120 min (nasopharyngeal temperature) and 105 min (rectal temperature). Patients with warmed irrigation fluid had a shorter average anesthesia recovery time than those without warming, although this difference was not statistically significant. Analysis of MMSE and MOCA scores revealed that the areas of cognitive decline post-surgery mainly involved cumulative memory and attention, while orientation was not affected. Education level was identified as a factor influencing cognitive decline.
conclusionThe administration of warmed irrigation fluid during shoulder arthroscopy has effectively preserved patients' core body temperature. This practice may contribute to a reduction in recovery time and complications associated with the procedure. Furthermore, minimally invasive techniques such as arthroscopy have been associated with a decreased incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment.
