Preoperative blood pressure and intraoperative hypothermia during lower abdominal surgery

Background: Preoperative factors including age and body habitus affect intraoperative hypothermia during general anesthesia. We hypothesized that preoperative blood pressure also plays a contributory role in the induction of intraoperative hypothermia.
