Oesophageal temperature was recorded after induction of anesthesia, and further, at one, two and three hours. Temperature in the operation hall was continuously monitored. ⋯ Thermal falls of less than 0.5 degrees C will also determine chills but in only 10.5% of the cases. Immediate postanesthesia chills are also recorded in normothermic patients, but there is a direct relationship between the temperature in the operating hall, the degree of hypothermia and the frequency of chills, while the site of the surgery or the duration of the operation have but an unsignificant influence on intra-anesthetic temperature.
