Introduction The human body is made up of three different muscle types cardiac‚ smooth‚ and skeletal muscle. For this particular experiment the primary focus was skeletal muscle‚ which accounts for about 36% to 45% of total body weight and involves the integration of more than 600 different muscles (WordPress‚ 2006). Skeletal muscle contains many unique properties such as; elasticity and extensibility which allows a muscle to be stretched and return to its original state when not in use. Additionally

a patient will have the possibility of experiencing post-operative hypothermia. Hypothermia is a frequent occurrence during major surgical procedures (4) where body temperature falls below 36 degrees. Major postoperative complications such as cardiac‚ arrhythmias‚ respiratory failure‚ sepsis‚ dehiscence‚ and death have been associated with hypothermia (5‚ 6). Studies have shown that there is a direct positive co-relationship between the duration of postoperative hypothermia and patient mortality
