Change of intraoperative core temperature during operations.
Patients’ core temperature was measured at the tympanic membrane beginning every 15 minutes after the induction of anesthesia and until the end of the operation. A total of 830 subjects were enrolled in the study; 89 (10.7%) received active warming, and 741(89.3%) received no warming.
