Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: ot yet recruiting
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 60

Inclusion Criteria

The study was included 60 patients aged between 18-60 years whose physical status was in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III risk group and were scheduled for laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients with inflammatory diseases, diabetes mellitus, muscle disease, hypo/hyperthyroidism, cardiac, hepatic and renal diseases, Parkinson disease, Reynold syndrome, a history of using drugs that are known to affect body temperature (Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers,
clonidine, steroids, anti-epileptic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, benzodiazepine), drug and alcohol addiction, obesity were excluded from the study. In addition,
patients whose surgery was shorter than 60 minutes and longer than 180 minutes were also excluded from the study. Patients having a greater than 30% change in
hemodynamic parameters during the surgery, those who needed to use a vasopressor or vasodilator, and those who required a blood transfusion were excluded from the study as well.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
nasopharengeal temperature<br>(nasopharengeal temperature measured via anesthesia machine)[before anesthesia induction, in 5-minute intervals after the induction of<br>anesthesia, and in arrival to PACU];mean skin temperature [0.3 (Tchest+Tarm) + 0.2 (Tthigh+Tcalf)]<br>(peripheral temperatures measured via anesthesia machine<br>thermometers)<br>[before anesthesia induction, in 5-minute intervals after the induction of anesthesia until arrival to PACU.];mean body temperature [0.64 x Tcentral + 0.36 x Tskin]<br>(tympanic temperature measured via infrared thermometer, but peripheral<br>temperatures measured via anesthesia machine thermometers)<br>[before anesthesia induction, in 5-minute intervals after the induction of anesthesia until arrival to PACU]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shivering score (0: no shivering, 1: presence of one or more of such findings as piloerection, peripheral vasoconstriction, and peripheral cyanosis without muscle movement, 2: presence of muscle activity observable in single muscle group, 3: presence of muscle activity in more than one muscle group, 4: presence of significant muscle activity observed in the whole body)<br>[On admission to post anesthetic care unit]
