    Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of forced air warming systems in the prevention of hypothermia during the perioperative period. Materials and methods: The systematic review includes 14 scientific articles identified in the following databases: Lilacs, Lipecs, PubMed, Medline, Ebsco, Cochrane Plus, and Scielo. Of the 14 pieces of evidence, 71% (10/14) are systematic reviews and 29% (4/14) are meta-analyses. All the studies have high evidence quality and strong recommendation strength. Results: 79% (n=11/14) of the systematically reviewed articles show that forced air warming systems are effective in preventing hypothermia during the perioperative period. 21% (n=3/14) of the reviewed articles disagree, stating that with the advent of new technologies used in active cutaneous warming systems, further research is needed to confirm systems that showed superiority when compared to forced air warming systems, as well as systems with a reduced number of studies developed so far. Conclusions: The effectiveness of forced air warming systems in preventing hypothermia during the perioperative period has been demonstrated.
