Perioperative hypothermia is common in patients undergoing general anaesthesia and is associated with important adverse events. Prevention of perioperative hypothermia has become a major topic of care for anaesthesiologists. Adequate measurement of the body core temperature is a prerequisite in detecting and preventing perioperative hypothermia. The best site for temperature monitoring is still under debate. This refresher course will review the current status of temperature monitoring and management.
