  • Title: Prevention of hypothermia during anaesthesia.
    Author: Blackburn E.
    Journal: Br J Theatre Nurs; 1994 Nov; 4(8):9, 12-4. PubMed ID: 7633085.
    Abstract:
    A study of the hypothermic effects of general anaesthesia during breast surgery and its amelioration by the use of a thermal drape to most of the body exclusive of the operating site. Two groups of patients are compared, using a constant anaesthetic technique, a single surgeon and the same operating conditions except for the omission or inclusion of thermal drapes. A review of the homeostatic mechanisms of temperature control and other methods of maintaining body temperature are included.
