What problems might arise if the anesthesiologist did not know the patient's higher body temperature?

Answer 1

I think this can be looked at from the ideal gas law:

PV=nRT

Also, Charles law states when Pressure is constant, Volume and Temperature can be related as :

V=kT ; where k= nR/P

This basically states that if temperature increases, volume will increase and vice versa.

So basically, you need to know the patient's body temperature to know how much volume of gas is needed or not needed depending on the situation.
