NCT00711867

Brief Summary

The sublingual (under the tongue) core temperature within 10 minutes of arrival in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) for patients warmed with the Dynatherm vitalHeat2 (VH2) System under general anesthesia for total knee arthroplasty will be equivalent to that of patients warmed with the Arizant Bair Hugger System.
