CONSORT flow diagram.Core body temperature changes were measured in the nasopharynx (during surgery) and tympanic membrane (pre-induction and PACU). PACU, post-anesthesia care unit. Data are presented as estimated mean ± SE. * Mean arterial pressure and heart rate changes. PACU, post-anesthesia care unit. Data are presented as estimated mean ± SE. * Patients’ demographic and perioperative data.Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or number and percentage (%). SMD, standardized mean difference. ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status. A MAP of less than 60 mmHg was considered hypotension, and an HR of <50 beats/min was considered bradycardia.The incidence of hypothermia and the severity and treatment of postoperative shivering.Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or number and percentage (%). PS, postoperative shivering. Grade 0, no shivering noted on palpation of the masseter, neck, or chest wall; grade 1, shivering localized to the neck and thorax only; grade 2, shivering involved the gross movement of the upper extremities (in addition to the neck and thorax); and grade 3, shivering involved gross movements of the trunk and upper and lower extremities.The association between the severity of PS and the incidence of hypothermia in the PACU.Data are presented as number and percentage (%). PS, postoperative shivering. Grade 0, no shivering noted on palpation of the masseter, neck, or chest wall; grade 1, shivering localized to the neck and thorax only; grade 2, shivering involved the gross movement of the upper extremities (in addition to the neck and thorax); and grade 3, shivering involved gross movements of the trunk and upper and lower extremities.The association between the severity of PS requiring treatment with meperidine and the incidence of hypothermia.Data are presented as number and percentage (%). PS, postoperative shivering. Grade 0, no shivering noted on palpation of the masseter, neck, or chest wall; grade 1, shivering localized to the neck and thorax only; grade 2, shivering involved the gross movement of the upper extremities (in addition to the neck and thorax); and grade 3, shivering involved gross movements of the trunk and upper and lower extremities.
