Abstract: Background: This study investigates the effectiveness of closed-loop temperature management supported by Internet of Things technology in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery. Methods: Eighty-nine patients were randomly assigned to three Groups. The Enhanced with Warming Blanket Group utilized inflatable warming blankets for insulation. The Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group employed real-time core temperature monitoring and temperature regulation supported by IoT technology. Core temperatures were continuously monitored from entering the operating room to departure from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit. Postoperative outcomes including time to tracheal extubation, length of stay in the PACU, incidence of postoperative shivering, time to first flatus, time to first oral feeding, and postoperative length of hospital stay were recorded and compared. Results: From 30 minutes after anesthesia induction to departure from the PACU, the Closed-Loop Thermoregulation Group exhibited significantly higher core body temperature than the Routine Group (All P
