Abstract

The objective was toexamine the body temperature ofpatientsundergoing cesarean section, as well astheir demographic and clinical variables.To this end, we carried out a quantitativestudy, an observational medium-sizedhospital in the state of Sao Paulo. Theresults showed that the average bodytemperature of patients ranged from36.5°C to 36.6°C during the anesthetic-surgical procedure that lasted an averageof58.5 minutes. In the admission into thePost-Anesthesia 16 (72.7%) patients were normothermic and six (27.2%) were withmi Id hypothermia (tyrnpanic temperaturelower than 36°C). The maximum stay inthe recovery was 150 minutes, averaging80 minutes. We conclude that, in themajority, undergone patients of shortduration surgery under spinal anesthesiawere maintained normothermic during thecourse of anesthetic-surgical procedureand post-anesthesia recovery.
