The purpose of temperature monitoring is to detect thermal disturbances and maintain appropriate body temperature during anaesthesia. Hypothermia and hyperthermia, which both lead to poor patient outcomes, can only be detected if a patient’s temperature is being monitored.

The NICE guideline - Intrapartum care (NG235) - states that in all birth settings it must be ensured that there are facilities for resuscitation and for transferring the baby to another location if necessary.
