Because infants, small children, elderly patient, cachetic patient and multiple trauma patients are prone to develop hypothermia during the operation and anesthesia. An anesthesiologist should be aware of deveolpment of hypothermia and take appropriate measures to prevent it. Authors experienced a case of hypothermia with body temperature dropped 32.4degrees C during the reconstruction of retrognathism and temporo-mandibular joint release in 6-year-old female child. Appropriate measures were taken for hypothermia, and the patient was discharged without any complication.
