Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Unintentional hypothermia of a patient is a common adverse effect during surgical procedures. The aim of this prospective, randomised, controlled study is to determine whether the use of thermal suit could prevent surgical patient from experiencing thermal loss than conventional measures. Hypothesis: The investigators assume that a difference of 0.5°C in body temperature between the groups is clinically relevant.
