A multimodal postoperative analgesic protocol should be used routinely, and home-going opioid prescriptions should be minimized. (1A)

A regular diet within the first 24 h after vaginal or vulvar surgery is recommended. (1B)

Attention should be paid to possible benefits of informing the patient about possible exposure to hypothermia during the perioperative period. (1A)

It is recommended to measure core temperature before anaesthesia in each case. (1A)

In the case of measurements from locations other than those recommended for core temperature measurements, it should be remembered to properly compare the reading with core temperature, except for the use of devices in which such reading changes are made automatically. (1A)

The preoperative assessment should identify relevant risk factors for intraoperative hypothermia and its possible consequences for an individual patient: ASA≥3; preoperative body temperature < 36°C; BMI; the extent of the procedure/the procedure over 1 hour; planned combination of general and block anaesthesia; anticipated blood loss above 500 mL. (1B)

It is recommended to use active methods of preventing skin heat loss since the induction of anaesthesia, e.g. forced-air warming systems or electric heating mattresses and blankets, when the anticipated duration of the procedure exceeds 60 minutes. (1A)

The time when a significant part of the body surface of the anesthetized patient is not covered in the period preceding draping should be kept to a minimum. (2A)

In patients aged≥70 years and scheduled to undergo intermediate- or high-risk NCS, frailty screening should be considered using a validated screening tool.(Evidence: Level B，Recommendation: Ⅱa)

Adjusting risk assessments according to self-reported ability to climb two flights of stairs should be considered in patients referred for intermediate- or high-risk NCS.(Evidence: Level B，Recommendation: Ⅱa)
