Popis: Avoiding redistributional hypothermia that decreases core temperature by 0.5-1.5°C within the 1st hour of surgery is difficult. The efficacy of prewarming using a forced-air warming (FAW) device with a lower-body blanket on redistribution hypothermia during epidural procedures have not been investigated. After ethics approval, 113 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia were enrolled. Intervention (prewarming) group patients who were warmed from operating room entry, including during epidural anesthesia, was compared with the control group that was warmed from just before surgery started. In total, 104 patients (52, control; 52, prewarming) were analyzed. In the prewarming group, compared to the control group, the core temperature 20 minutes after anesthesia induction (36.9 ± 0.4 vs. 37.1 ± 0.4°C
