Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a thermal insulator to reduce intra surgical hypothermia in canines and felines at the Veterinary Clinical Teaching Unit, UNISARC (Risaralda, Colombia). Preoperative and intraoperative temperature data were collected in 200 patients (140 canine and 60 feline) undergoing either ovariohysterectomy or orchiectomy. The variables species, sex, body temperature with and without the use of insulation, and temperature in the preoperative and intraoperative period of the patients were analysed. No significant differences were observed in the use of thermal insulation in canine patients (p>0.05), but there were differences in feline patients (p<0.01) in favour of the use of the device.
