Effects of lamotrigine on pain-induced chemo-somatosensory evoked potentials.

abstract：:The use of fluid-warming systems is recommended for infusion rates > 500 ml.h-1 to avoid peri-operative hypothermia. Some fluid-warming devices use disposable aluminium-heated plates for heat transfer, but there is no protective coating to separate the fluid from the heated aluminium surface. It is unknown if this cou...
