Malignancy
NO
Hypothermia commonly occurs during major surgery and can be associated with perioperative complications, such as postoperative myocardial ischemia and an increased rate of surgical wound infections. Forced-air warming systems have been shown as an effective method to prevent perioperative hypothermia. We previously demonstrated that the initial temperature decrease caused by redistribution of the heat could be prevented by newly introduced warming system, Equator® convective Warmer (EQ-5000, Smith Medical). However, there was significant between-patient variability regarding to the warming efficacy of the system. The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between body mass index and decreases in the core temperature under forced-air warming during upper abdominal surgery.
Safety,Efficacy
The difference between the core temperature of elapsed time zero and minimum temperature during surgery was defined as maximum decrease of the core temperature.

Anesthsia: All patients underwent combined epidural and general anesthesia. An epidural catheter was inserted via an interspace between Th6 and Th8 using a standard technique. Epidural anesthesia was maintained during surgery with intermittent injection of 4-10ml 0.5% ropivacaine. General anesthesia was induced using 1-2mg/kg propofol with 1-2mcg/kg fentanyl and maintained with sevofurane inhalation. Patients were paralyzed with rocuronium and mechanically ventilated. End-tidal PCO2 was maintained 35-45mmHg. All fluids administered were warmed to 40 degrees Celsius, and ambient temperature was kept near 24 degrees Celsius.
Temperature monitoring and warming methods: Pharyngeal temperature monitoring and forced-air warming was started after induction of general anesthesia. Pharyngeal temperature was measured continuously and recorded at 15-minutes intervals following induction. Forced air warming system (EquatorTM; Convective Warmer, EQ-5000, Smiths Medical, MN, USA) was used with medium temperature setting (40 degrees Celsius). Air blanket (Level 1TM; Snuggle WarmTM; Upper Body Blanket, SW 2003, Smiths Medical, MN, USA) covers the anterior extremity of patients from the over side of the body. No amino acid transfusion was used. Pre-warming was not performed.
