Preventing hypothermia: convective and intravenous fluid warming versus convective warming alone

Study Objective: To test the hypothesis that warming intravenous (IV) fluids in conjunction with convective warming results in less intraoperative hypothermia (core temperature <36.0°C) than that seen with convective warming alone. Design: Prospective, randomized study. Setting: University affili...
