Summary

Two patient warming systems will be compared with 40 patients each in a convective warming group (BairHugger, Arizant) and in a conductive warming group (HotDog, Augustine Biomedical).

The patients will undergo small to medium trauma surgery and will be warmed with the randomized device - the hypothesis is, that the area under the standardized core temperature / time curve is significantly greater in the conductive warming group. Secondary outcome is the mean skin temperature / time area under the curve.
