Core Temperature Variations During Midazolam vs Propofol Sedation for Neuraxial Anesthesia

Summary

The present study is a pilot study aiming to compare the variation in core temperature (measured through the non-invasive device Spot-OnTM3MTM) in patients submitted to neuraxial anesthesia for orthopedic procedures, during sedation with midazolam vs propofol.
