Relationship between the core temperature at the end of surgery and the incidence of pressure ulcers, The core temperature at the end of surgery was measured according to the rectal temperature at the end of surgery. The values below each range of core temperature show pressure ulcer incidence (%). The number of surgeries associated with pressure ulcers increased for a core temperature of more than 38·1°C at the end of surgery. No pressure ulcers developed at a core temperature of less than 37·1°C at the end of surgery.
