Method of measurement: by digital thermometer EmsiG- CT20 made in Germany.;Core body tempreture. Timepoint: upon admission of the patient into the operating room, before induction of anesthesia, immediately following the induction and then every 15 minutes until patient is discharged from the recovery unit. Method of measurement: by digital infrared thermometer, EmsiG - CT30 made in Germany to measure the tympanic membrane temperature.;Physiologic indices. Timepoint: upon admission of the patient into the operating room, before induction of anesthesia, immediately following the induction and then every 15 minutes until patient is discharged from the recovery unit.
