Abstract
Control of ambient operating room temperature is very effective in regulating the temperature of the newborn during anesthesia. It offers many advantages other than simplicity. It acts from the moment the newborn enters the operating room: this includes induction of anesthesia, acquisition of i.v. route and monitoring installation when full access to the baby is necessary. During the surgical procedures it clears the operative site of fixed heat sources, which can be cumbersome and stray from the site of their original applications.
