Perioperative Maintenance of Normothermia Reduces the Incidence of Morbid Cardiac Events: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Steven M. Frank,Lee A. Fleisher,Michael J. Breslow,Michael S. Higgins,K. F. Olson,Susan Kelly,Charles Beattie +6 more
TL;DR: In patients with cardiac risk factors who are undergoing noncardiac surgery, the perioperative maintenance of normothermia is associated with a reduced incidence of morbid cardiac events and ventricular tachycardia.

Perioperative morbidity in patients randomized to epidural or general anesthesia for lower extremity vascular surgery
Rose Christopherson,Charles Beattie,Steven M. Frank,Edward J. Norris,Curtis L. Meinert,Sidney O. Gottlieb,Helen Yates,Peter Rock,Stephen D. Parker,Bruce A. Perler,G Melville Willams +10 more
TL;DR: Compared with general anesthesia, epidural anesthesia is associated with a lower incidence of reoperatlon for inadequate tissue perfusion and, therefore, may be advantageous for this surgical population.

Relative contribution of core and cutaneous temperatures to thermal comfort and autonomic responses in humans.
TL;DR: Tc and Tsk contribute about equally toward thermal comfort, whereas Tc predominates in regulation of the autonomic and metabolic responses.

The Catecholamine, Cortisol, and Hemodynamic Responses to Mild Perioperative Hypothermia: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Steven M. Frank,Michael S. Higgins,M. J. Breslow,Lee A. Fleisher,R. B. Gorman,J. V. Stczmann,Hershel Raff,C. Beattte +7 more
TL;DR: Compared with patients in the forced‐air warming group, patients receiving routine thermal care had lower core temperatures, a greater degree of peripheral vasoconstriction, higher norepinephrine concentrations, and higher arterial blood pressures in the early postoperative period.
