“…However, Sessler et al [2] showed that the increase in heat loss was small and compl[etely compensated for by shivering thermogenesis during lumbar epidural anesthesia. They also showed that sympathectomy-induced vasodilation produced central hypothermia via net convection of heat from warmer central tissues to cooler peripheral tissues [5]. Therefore, it would seem that the initial hypothermia during spinal anesthesia results primarily from redistribution of heat within the body, as has been shown in general anesthesia [1] and epidural anesthesia [5].…”

Therefore, it would seem that the initial hypothermia during spinal anesthesia results primarily from redistribution of heat within the body, as has been shown in general anesthesia [1] and epidural anesthesia [5]. The initial hypothermia during spinal anesthesia was prevented by positive lower-body-warming using a forced-air warmer (37~ Warming up the skin-surface in the area to be anesthetized would have helped prevent the initial hypothermia from heat redistribution in the body.…”

“…1,2 Hyperthermia in response to epidural analgesia in labor is paradoxical, given the vasodilatation that accompanies epidural analgesia usually results in a decrease in core temperature. 3 Although acquired infection is a possibility, several observations render this less likely. First, neonatal sepsis evaluations are frequent after epidural analgesia, but increased neonatal infections have not been documented, despite incomplete antibiotic treatment rates.…”

“…A diminuição da temperatura corporal ocorre imediatamente após a indução de anestesia geral 5 ou regional 6 , decorrente da redistribuição de calor do compartimento central para o periférico. Nas intervenções cirúrgicas em que há exposição de cavidades corporais a perda de calor é maior [5][6][7][8] .…”

Nas intervenções cirúrgicas em que há exposição de cavidades corporais a perda de calor é maior [5][6][7][8] . Sessler 8 defendeu que o aquecimento do paciente antes da indução anestésica provoca aquecimento dos tecidos periféricos reduzindo a hipotermia por dois mecanismos: (1 diminuição do gradiente de temperatura central e periférico; (2 estimulação de vasodilatação, como se o sistema de termorregulação estivesse ativado para manter a dissipação do calor.…”
