This review article aims to explore the application of intelligent temperature control systems in neonatal critical surgeries and their potential in clinical decision support. With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the utilization of intelligent temperature control systems in operating rooms has become increasingly prevalent. We will review relevant literature, analyze the mechanisms of action, evaluate the impact of these systems on surgical outcomes in neonates, and discuss how the evidence surrounding this technology can be effectively translated into practical clinical decision support tools. Additionally, we will summarize the current challenges faced in this field and outline future directions for development.
