What exactly is post operative hyperthermia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure...: What you mean. Hyperthermia means a fever or elevated body temperature, and post operative means after surgery. One rare condition seen is malignant hyperthermia during a general anesthesia in surgery. Not sure about "post operative hyperthermia" other than a fever after surgery.
