Name	Time	Method
Central temperature. Timepoint: Every 10 minutes during the operation until leaving the recovery unit. Method of measurement: Tympanic thermometer.;Peripheral temperature. Timepoint: Every 10 minutes during the operation until leaving the recovery unit. Method of measurement: Axillary thermometer.;Intensity of shivering. Timepoint: Every 10 minutes during the operation until leaving the recovery unit. Method of measurement: Based on five scores from 0 to 4 so that 0 = no shivering; 1= piloerection or peripheral vasoconstriction but no visible shivering; 2= muscular activity in only one muscle group; 3= muscular activity in more than one muscle group but not generalised shivering; 4= shivering involving the whole body.
