title: Thermal effects of a contained sodium acetate heat source on the core body temperature in the anesthetized adult.
abstract: Heat loss occurs under general anesthesia for a variety of reasons, and may have adverse effects. In this study, a new method of maintaining core body temperature by use of a sodium acetate heat source is compared with other methods of preventing heat loss, with positive results.
