title: [Perioperative thermal management in children].
abstract: Perioperative temperature monitoring is a pre-requisite for successful prevention of inadvertent hypothermia in children. To achieve this goal, besides of pre-warming, active warming measures have to be intensified the younger and immature infants are. Intraoperatively incubators can be used. Forced-air warming in combination with fluid warming has been proven effective in children. Postoperative shivering should be treated, e.g. with pethidin or clonidine.
