 Results:showed basal and postoperative body temperatureregistered 36° C and 36.1° C, respectively.Basal systolic blood pressure registered 96 mmHg and postoperative 93 mm Hg, and basaldiastolic blood pressure registered 63 mm Hgand postoperative 63 mm Hg. Basal oxygen saturationregistered 96% and postoperative 93%.Basal heart rate registered 88 bpm and postoperative85 bpm. Basal respiratory rate registered20 bpm and postoperative 20 bpm.
