Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Forced air warmers are the most frequently used active warming devices in the peri-operative setting. Currently, our hospital does not pre-warm patients but if our study shows that pre-warming reduces post-operative shivering, we will be able to make an evidence based decision to start this practice.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Forced air warmers are the most frequently used active warming devices in the peri-operative setting. They are effective at preventing hypothermia induced shivering when used before induction of anesthesia, during anesthesia and surgery, and after emergence in the post-anesthesia care unit. Other methods such as warm fluids, opioids, blankets and warm light devices can be used but are less effective as compared to the forced air warming devices.
Currently, our hospital does not pre-warm patients but if our study shows that pre-warming reduces post-operative shivering, we will be able to make an evidence based decision to start this practice.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
No pre-op warming
No pre-warming in bay before surgery.
No pre-op warming
No forced air warming of the patient prior to being taken in for surgery
Pre-op forced air warming
A forced air warmer device (WarmTouch Convective Warming System) will be used to pre-warm patients in holding bay before surgery
Forced Air Warmer
A forced air warmer device will be used to pre-warm patients for 10 minutes in holding bay before surgery. Air warming device is an electrically powered control unit, hose, and inflatable "blanket". The control unit has an air filter and heater, which warms air entrained from the environment. The hose connects to a blanket.
