hypothermia
time weighted average out of normothernia (body temperature over 37.5℃ and under 36.5℃) in intraoperative period
Time frame: intraoperative period (from the time when patient enters the operating room to the time when patient exits the operating room)
hyperthermia
body temperature recorded over 37.5℃
Time frame: intraoperative period (from the time when patient enters the operating room to the time when patient exits the operating room)
thermal comfort scale
asking subjects about the thermal sensation on a seven-point scale from cold(-3) to hot (+3)
Time frame: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes after entering the post-anesthesia care unit
patient satifisfaction at post-anesthesia care unit
visual analog scale score for measuring the patient satisfaction after the surgery (0\~10)
Time frame: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes after entering the post-anesthesia care unit
shivering score at post-anesthesia care unit
4 grades of shivering score measured at post-anesthesia care unit
Time frame: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes after entering the post-anesthesia care unit
clinical outcomes after the surgery
postoperative complications during hospitalization
Time frame: 5 days after the surgery
