Compared the incidence rate of shivering and the changing of temperature during the course of operation between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the heat preservation group about changing of temperature during the course of operation, while the difference in the routine group was significant. The incidence rate in the shivering in routine group was significant higher than that of in the beat preservation group. Conclusions It is necessary for aged patents about heat preservation during the operation, which can avoid low body temperature and promote satisfactory prognosis.
