Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study and potential risk all patients giving written informed consent then the study started. Patients who will undergo elective, gastrointestinal and other major abdominal surgery were included in the study. After patients were randomized by the investigator, patients were covered with disposable or reusable surgical drapes in accordance with hospital procedure. The body temperatures of the patients were followed for 2-6 hours as tympanic and esophageal. In addition, pre- and postoperative surgical drapes, sponges, compresses were measured with precision scales.
