Background: The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia is still high despite the proposal of
different preventive measures during thoracoscopic surgery. This randomized control study …

Background Perioperative hypothermia is frequent during thoracic surgery. After approval by
the local ethics committee and written informed consent from patients, we examined the …

Background Perioperatively, unexpected hypothermia may cause adverse surgical
outcomes. However, few studies have explored the efficacy of forced‐air warming in patients …

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of peri-induction forced air warming to
prevent inadvertent perioperative hypothermia, defined as a reduction in body temperature …

Background In the supine position, forced-air warming is more effective on the lower body
than on the upper body to prevent intraoperative hypothermia. However, it is unknown in the …

Objective: To determine whether postoperative forced-air warming of cardiac bypass
patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) results in faster rate of warming and improved …

Objective: To compare the efficacy of forced-air warmers and radiant heaters on rewarming
after cardiac surgery in a prospective randomized study. Methods: Fifty male patients who …

Forced-air warming is the most commonly used and effective method of active warming. A
new radiant warming device (Suntouch™, Fisher and Paykel) may provide an alternative …

Results The intraoperative hypothermia incidences were 26.0% and 68.0% in groups A and
B, respectively. The mean time for developing hypothermia was found to be 143.08±26.26 …

Background Previous research has shown a beneficial effect of prewarming for preventing
inadvertent perioperative hypothermia. However, there are few studies of the effects of a …
