The lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of textile coverings in protecting patients in the operating room, underscores the recommendation of the forced warming system using non-woven fabric for ensuring the best thermal protection in the perioperative context. This study is part of a development process of a three-layered thermal insulation system, a blanket for use in the perioperative context. After previous selection of two fabrics for the mid and outer layers, in this study three fabric samples for the inner layer with same soft tactile sensation and different textile compositions were tested to find its effect on increasing the thermal insulation of the whole set, using a thermal manikin. The serial method was used to calculate the thermal insulation properties of the sets. The best thermal insulation and thermal comfort performance was obtained by the set using an inner layer composed of polypropylene, polyamide, and elastane whose results were the highest thermal conductivity and thickness and the lowest maximum stationary heat flow density. The results indicated that this fabric influenced positively the values of the whole set once increased its thermal protection effectiveness when compared to the other tested sets. This set is more suitable for future testing in patients during their stay in the perioperative setting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0291424","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]],"date-time":"2023-09-12T17:24:37Z","timestamp":1694539477000},"page":"e0291424","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development of a perioperative thermal insulation system: Testing comfort properties for different textile sets"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6028-2172","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Isaura","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Liliana","family":"Fontes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3395-7653","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Teresa","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Abelha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0291424.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/j.buildenv.2011.05.011","article-title":"Thermal comfort models: A review and numerical investigation.","volume":"47","author":"Y Cheng","year":"2012","journal-title":"Build Environ"},{"key":"pone.0291424.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"286","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jopan.2010.07.001","article-title":"Incidence of postoperative hypothermia and the relationship to clinical variables.","volume":"25","author":"SM Burns","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Perianesthesia Nurs"},{"key":"pone.0291424.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1590\/S0104-11692009000200014","article-title":"Santos CB dos.
