Haemodynamics and temperatures for Procedure 4. Systolic pressure (mmHg): ; diastolic pressure (mmHg): ; heart rate (beats per minute): ; target temperature (°C): grey solid line; ambient temperature (°C): grey dashed line; peripheral temperature (°C): black solid line; Bladder Temperature (°C): black dashed line; nasal temperature (°C): black dotted line. Operating room temperature was maintained at a moderate 26°C for the duration of the procedure with maintenance of patient core temperature and a small drop in peripheral temperature over this period.
