Clinical trials: Thermal Comfort
Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia
Effects of Different Warming Methods in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery
Cold gases given during laparoscopic cholecystectomy are the most important cause of hypothermia. However, even surgery alone is an 80% important cause of hypothermia.
