[Possibilities of controlling intraoperative thermoregulation].

The agents containing succinic and fumaric acids were used to control body temperature during an operation. Elective surgical interventions into small pelvic organs were made in 22 females aged 28-55 years, who were divided into 2 groups. In group 1 (n = 11), the agents containing succinic and fumaric acids were used and infusion therapy that did not differ from Group 2 (n = 11) in all other respects. The level of metabolism, temperature in the rectum and big toe, and other parameters were estimated. Administration of the drugs containing carboxylic acids of the Krebs cycle was shown to lead to the activatization of metabolism, the maintenance of core temperature, by increasing peripheral body temperature at surgery.
