2. Figure 1
Core (upper graph) and skin (lower graph) temperatures. Temperatures were constant or augmented in the Allon Thermoregulation system group but decreased over most of the surgical period in the RTC group. *P < .001; †P < .003 (by ANOVA) between the groups.

3. Figure 2
Temperature distribution. The percentage of patients in each study group whose core temperature reached 36°C or more is shown. *P < .001 (by ANOVA) between the groups.

4. Figure 3
SVR (lower plain) and CI (upper plain). SVR increased and CI decreased in the RTC group but remained stable in the Allon Thermoregulation system group. *P < .001; †P < .01 (by ANOVA) between the groups.

5. Figure 4
Preoperative and postoperative IL levels. All IL levels increased by the end of the operation in both groups. *P = (by t test) versus the corresponding baseline values; †P = .008 versus the RTC group.
