  1. Data are expressed as Mean ± SD. Timepoints: Ta = baseline, Tb = before general anesthesia, T0 = pre-warming, T15 = after 15 min warming, T30 = after 30 min warming, T45 = after 45 min warming, T60 = after 60 min warming, T75 = after 75 min warming, T90 = after 90 min warming
  2. *The P value for the t test is set at 0.05
