Filter by:The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part V is comparing standard WHO thermoregulation practices plus use of a plastic torso wrap to no plastic torso wrap in full term infants from resuscitation to one hour after birth.
The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part V is comparing use of a plastic torso wrap to no plastic torso wrap in preterm/low birth weight infants following removal from their incubator to assist with temperature regulation.
The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part III is for preterm/low birth weight infants with or without a plastic torso wrap during the first hour after birth to assist with temperature regulation during placement in an incubator.
The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part II is for preterm/low birth weight infant with or without plastic head cover used from 1 hour after birth until discharge or 24 hours after birth to assist with temperature regulation.
The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part I is for preterm/low birth weight infant with or without plastic head cover used during resuscitation.
Unintentional hypothermia of a patient is a common adverse effect during surgical procedures. The aim of this prospective, randomised, controlled study is to determine whether the use of thermal suit could prevent surgical patient from experiencing thermal loss than conventional measures. Hypothesis: The investigators assume that a difference of 0.5°C in body temperature between the groups is clinically relevant.
The purpose of the study will help us understand the complex interaction between hypothermia (cooling) and pharmacogenetics (how specific genes effect how drugs are handled), and their impact on how routinely given sedation drug are broken down and used by the body when given to children after cardiac arrest (when heart stops pumping blood) and are critically ill.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low dose versus high dose steroids vital signs of patients currently on steroids or recently treated with steroids undergoing major colorectal surgery. The investigators hypothesize that there will be no statistically significant difference in orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure measured on lying, sitting, and standing), blood pressure, temperature or heart rate in the standard and low dose groups.
Data indicate that neurological prognostication is difficult after cardiac arrest if mild therapeutic hypothermia is part of the post resuscitation care. Cerebral oxygenation detected by near-infrared spectroscopy, could be a new, non-invasive index marker for outcome assessment after cardiac arrest. The investigators hypothesize that cardiac arrest survivors with a continuously low cerebral oxygenation index have a poor prognosis.
The Objective is to determine if renal hypothermia during open partial nephrectomy results in improved post-operative renal function compared to warm ischemia. Primary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of overall renal function compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of overall renal function. Secondary Aim is to determine the effect of hypothermia on preservation of affected renal function (kidney with the tumor) compared to no hypothermia in patients who require hilar vessel clamping during open partial nephrectomy for a renal tumor. Hypothesis: Hypothermia will result in improved post-operative preservation of affected renal function.
