Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
temperature perioperatively; effect of medical premedication; effect of transport within the hospital; effect of forced-air prewarming; Temperature monitoring is done pre- and postoperatively with the non-invasive SpotOn® temperature monitoring system, intraoperatively with a vesical and a nasopharyngeal temperature probe. The data will be recorded on a seperate temperature sheet.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
incidence of hypothermia; moment and duration of perioperative hypothermia; data collection & storage s. primary outcome
