Perioperative body temperature measurements

Core and skin body temperature measurements immediately before and during general anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery in adults pertaining to the study conducted by Steyn FA, Du Toit L, Naidoo T, Hofmeyr R, titled "A descriptive study of the relationship between preoperative body temperature and intraoperative core temperature change in adults under general anaesthesia". Southern African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia. 2021 Nov 24;27(6):292-8.<br><br>This study set out to investigate the relationship between immediate preoperative noninvasive body temperature measurements and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia (core body temperature &lt; 36 deg Celsius) in participants undergoing general anaesthesia for more than an hour, with limited environmental exposure, and minimal physiologic stress (ophthalmic surgery).
