Intraoperative hypothermia is associated with many clinical adverse outcomes. Many techniques were applied to prevent intraoperative hypothermia, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been known to blunt intraoperative hypothermia by increasing thermoregulatory vasoconstriction threshold. The investigators assessed the effect of PEEP on the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia during spine surgery in prone position.
