This investigation is undertaken to investigate if patient warming with BARRIER® EasyWarm active self-warming blanket differs compared to active warming with forced air warming in terms of core body temperature perioperatively. A non-inferiority, prospective, open-labelled, randomized, parallel investigation. Randomized subjects will receive active warming with BARRIER® EasyWarm or with forced air warming. All subjects may receive rescue warming if their core temperature falls below 35.5°C. Rescue warming is optional and defined as the institution's standard of care to prevent hypothermia. The primary purpose is to investigate if there is a clinically relevant difference in core body temperature between the two treatment groups. A total of 60 subjects will be included in the investigation, i.e. 30 subjects in each treatment group. The number includes a 30% drop-out rate.

The Difference in Core Body Temperature in the Two Treatment Groups.
Timeframe: Subjects will be followed for one day of hospital stay, data to be collected during the perioperative phase. Expected to be between 5-8 hours.
