Background: Perioperative hypothermia is a common complication of general and regional anesthesia in children and is a known risk factor for the development of coagulation disorders. The primary aim of the study was to detect the occurrence of coagulopathy in hypothermic pediatric patients(0-18 years) undergoing arthroscopic surgery and open abdominal surgery. The secondary objective was to identify potential risk factors for both hypothermia and coagulopathy.: Prospective cohort study. The second part of our study Perioperative Management of Temperature in Children and Influence of Hypothermia on Blood Clotting in Children (Peritemp). We observed incidence of body temperature below normal values, i.e. 36.5 °C, and below 36 °C and incidence of pathological values in ROTEM -EXTEM and FIBTEM, and standard coagulation tests -APTT and PT. Results: 102 patients (55 females and 47 males) were enrolled from 22nd January 2018 to 27th
