“…Second, there was no doubt that amino acid infusions reduced the incidence of postoperative shivering. The present view, that shivering is an inefficient 'heater' after anaesthesia (Frank et al 1995), was demonstrated in our control patients, who had a low O 2 consumption and were hypothermic at awakening despite shivering. Thus, the absence of shivering evidently does not interfere to any extent with temperature balance.…”

“…It is now well documented that even mild hypothermia reduces resistance to surgical wound infection, disturbs blood coagulation with increased blood loss, increases the risk of morbid cardiac events, delays drug metabolism due to impaired hepatic function and prolongs hospital stay. Postoperative adrenergic activation during shivering may be substantial (Frank et al 1995), and several patients report that in the recovery room discomfort of shivering and sensation of cold are worse than surgical pain (Kurz et al 1995).…”

“…Moreover, due to effects on the local immunological response, the risk of surgical wound infections is tripled [44]. A reduction in body temperature during surgery leads to the development of postoperative tremors, which substantially increase the metabolic requirements of the body and oxygen consumption [45]. The proper management is to initiate temperature monitoring before the induction of anaesthesia and to continue this monitoring throughout the procedure and during the postoperative period.…”
