Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Sex: Male
• Target Recruitment: Not specified

Inclusion Criteria

Men; Age between 50 and 80 years; physical status ASA I to III (classification related to the diseases the individual has); patients who will undergo elective robotic prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) under spinal analgesia and total intravenous general anesthesia; minimum surgical duration of 60 minutes

Exclusion Criteria

BMI >35 kg/m²; preoperative tympanic body temperature >38ºC or <36ºC; patients referred to the ICU (intensive care unit) in post-anesthesia recovery; surgeries lasting less than 60 minutes; patients who have uncompensated thyroid disease (thyroid disease that is not controlled by medication).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To evaluate the effectiveness of the forced peri-induction heating technique with a thermal mattress in the prevention of hypothermia, defined as a temperature <36.0ºC, during the intraoperative period for laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy. The evaluation will be done by measuring the temperature before, during and after the surgery, comparing the temperature variation of the patients in both groups (blanket and mattress). It is expected to find less incidence of hypothermia in the group that will use the mattress in the induction of general anesthesia.
