* to assess the impact of perioperative hypothermia on anemia and myocardial injury.

Detailed Description

100 investigation centers in metropolitan France will participate in the study, targeting 2000 included patients (20 surgical interventions in each center). The duration of inclusion in each center should last at most 2 weeks.

Core temperatureup to 24 hours

The temperature will be measured with the same type of thermometer in all investigator sites: SpotOn™ (3M France).

blood lossup to 24 hours

Blood loss will be assessed by haemoglobin variation between preoperative and the first post-operative day.

myocardial injuryup to 48 hours

Troponin T will be measured after the surgical intervention (at least 6 hours after the end of the surgery) and on the second postoperative day (when the patient remains hospitalized).
