Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A sample size calculation was made using a power analysis. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups.
Patients in the intervention group were put on the T-Balance 1 hour before anesthesia induction. Patients in the control group got conventional cotton clothes. Intra-operatively same warming methods were used in both groups. The measuring points of the temperature were esophagus (core temperature), left axilla, dorsal surface of the left middle finger and back of the left foot.
Anesthesia was induced via target-controlled infusion. All temperature data of the patients were collected and recorded electrically and continuously.
