“…Personal intra-operative practice was variable, although all of those contacted would initiate some form of active temperature management after a mean (SD) volume of blood loss of 1282 (404) ml, length of surgery of 78 (24) Peri-operative hypothermia in non-obstetric cases has been found to increase wound infection rates and length of hospital stay [1], operative blood loss [2], and anaesthetic recovery time [3]. Few studies have included obstetric patients but although Caesarean sections are relatively short procedures, there is still a risk of hypothermia [4][5][6][7] and it has been recently suggested that all mothers should be warmed during Caesarean section [8]. We wished to ascertain which, if any, methods of warming were being used in the UK.…”

“…The rectum was selected as the site for body temperature measurement because of the difficulties and hazards associated with direct tympanic temperature measurement (1,15,16) associated with ear-based temperatures (1,(17)(18)(19)(20). Maternal rectal temperature was measured three times, just before anesthesia, at the beginning of operation and at delivery.…”

“…However, all anesthetic drugs profoundly impair these mechanisms. Because of the core-to-peripheral redistribution of body heat that follows the induction of anesthesia, all patients are at risk for hypothermia (1).…”
