Association analysis of postoperative hypothermia for stability of blood pressure

Abstract

Hypothermia is defined as a body temperature (core, or internal body temperature) of less than about 95 F (35 C). Usually, hypothermia occurs when the body’s temperature regulation is overwhelmed by a cold environment. However, in the medical and lay literature there are essentially two major classifications, accidental hypothermia and intentional hypothermia. Intentional hypothermia is body temperature lowering induced usually for a medical procedure. In the study, it has been shown that using k-means methods and association rules with post-operative patient data from a medical point of view. The results of the study are derived. In addition, two methods are used to derive the results related to stability of blood pressure, present and analyze them, and suggest future research directions.
