Abstract

Intraoperative temperature management is one of the important aspects in successful outcome of the surgical patient. Both anesthesia and surgery significantly have an impact on internal thermoregulation of the human body. We conducted this study to correlate nasopharyngeal temperature with transcutaneous carotid artery temperature of adult patients under general anesthesia (GA) in our rural institution.
