The primary objectives of the study are * to perform a survey on the clinical management of unintentional hypothermia during surgery in France. * to assess the impact of perioperative hypothermia on anemia and myocardial injury.
100 investigation centers in metropolitan France will participate in the study, targeting 2000 included patients (20 surgical interventions in each center). The duration of inclusion in each center should last at most 2 weeks. The selected surgical interventions will be those performed with a high frequency, practiced in all types of hospitals (public, private, university hospital or not), and requiring anesthesia of at leat 30 minutes (general, epidural or intrathecal anesthesia).
