During hip arthroscopy patients are exposed to several risk factors that maylead to hypo<strong>the</strong>rmia.Objective: to determinate if <strong>the</strong>re are hypo<strong>the</strong>rmia and which are <strong>the</strong> factors contributing tohypo<strong>the</strong>rmia during hip arthroscopy.Methods and materials: we developed an prospective observational analytical study in a cohortgroup <strong>of</strong> patients that went to a hip arthroscopy, all operated by a single surgeon for treatment<strong>of</strong> femoroacetabular impingement, all were done <strong>under</strong> general anes<strong>the</strong>sia in supine position ,with vair hugher warmer body air convection system always in 43.3°C; and we registeredcentral body temperature (esophagical) during <strong>the</strong> entire procedure, we also recorded operationroom temperature, volume (liters) and temperature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> saline solution used for <strong>the</strong>arthroscopy, age <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> patient, body mass index (BMI), arterial tension, pump pressure, andsurgical time. We analyzed <strong>the</strong> results with STATA 10.0 statistical s<strong>of</strong>tware.Results: we performed 12 cases, 30 years old in average (14 – 46), BMI 24.0 in average (18.7 –30.4), and hypo<strong>the</strong>rmia was founded in 16% (2/12) <strong>of</strong> cases. There are a direct assosiationbetween hypo<strong>the</strong>rmia and operating time over 120 minutes (p
