Abstract
I found the results of this relatively straightforward study somewhat surprising [1]. Raising the operating room temperature from 19° to 23°C combined with warming of intravenous fluids to 41°C and using a forced air convective system with a gel pad beneath the patient was as effective in maintaining bladder temperature above 36°C as the endovascular heating system. The author is to be commended for designing an effective procedure for the control group of patients. It is suggested that an important disadvantage of keeping the room warm is discomfort and possible perspiration problems for the operator.
