Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the effectiveness of upper-body versus lower-body forced air warming in preventing perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.Timepoint: To compare the effectiveness of upper-body versus lower-body forced air warming in preventing perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery will be assessed at 30 minutes post-surgery—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate perioperative temperature changes, incidence of shivering and postoperative thermal comfort in the patients To assess patient satisfaction with the method of forced air warming used during the intraoperative period.Timepoint: The outcome will be assessed in the postoperative setting after 30 inutes of surgery—
