Randomized Controlled Trial
Forced-air warming and fluid warming minimize core hypothermia during abdominal surgery.
To evaluate the effect of intraoperative combined forced-air warming and fluid warming system on patient's core temperature, blood loss, transfusion demand, extubation time, and incidence of postoperative shivering. ⋯ Active warming with air-forced blanket and fluid warming system provides sufficient heat to prevent hypothermia during abdominal surgery.
