Compare and contrast cardiac and smooth muscle.

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).
