About

This study compare effect of using survival thermal blanket and draping fabric as substitute for perforated blanket to reduce the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in geriatric patients.

Full description

Study design was randomized single blinded. Total of 126 geriatric subjects from March-April 2021 were allocated into survival thermal blanket group (n=63) dan draping fabric group (n=63). Preinduction temperature was measured using timpanic membrane termometer. Intraoperatively, temperature is measured using nasopharynx.Study design was randomized single blinded.
