The most significant risk factor was found to be not prewarming the patient as a strict procedure, and as the ASA physical status score worsened, the rate of hypothermia increased significantly. Besides, the SpotOn method provided temperature measurements as good as the oesophageal temperature measurements. Clinical Trial registration: ISRCTN 14027708.
