What they're measuring

Patient Temperature at the Time of Incision as Measured by SpotOn (3M) Temperature Monitoring System..

Timeframe: The treatment period starts with the patient consenting to the study and application of preoperative forced-air warming device and ends when the patient leaves the PACU (average 4-8 hours following enrollment).
