About

The goal of this observational study is to compare frequency of intraoperative hypothermia between fragilitly groups of eldery patients who underwent orthopedic surgical procedures.

It aims to answer those questions:

• İs there any difference between fragility groups in terms of hypothermia frequency during orthopedic surgical procedures?
• Are there any other factors that influence the frequency of hypothermia such as age, body mass index, room temperature etc. ? Participants body temperature before anestesia application,and before surgery had started was measured and measurament was done during whole procedure. Measuraments had been done by tympanic thermometer.
