[Implementation of a thermal management concept to prevent perioperative hypothermia : Results of a 6‑month period in clinical practice].

CONCLUSION: We conclude that temperature management is a challenge in the clinical situation, and that it is difficult to achieve rates of hypothermia close to zero. The addition of prewarming was very effective in improving the results in our patients.
