Filter by:Perioperative hypothermia is associated with many complications, including surgical site infections, delayed wound healing, coagulopathy, prolonged hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. Perioperative close monitoring of the body temperature is important, and this is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines. In this study the investigators aimed to detect the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in pediatric patients in the operating room, and to detect the possible associated risk factors.
This prospective, randomized, single-center study compares intraoperative heat loss at the core temperature level in patients scheduled for direct anterior total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia and who will or will not, according to randomization, receive one hour of pre-warming with a pulsed air thermal blanket prior to anesthesia induction.
Perioperative hypothermia is associated with many complications, including surgical site infections, delayed wound healing, coagulopathy, prolonged hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. Perioperative close monitoring of the body temperature is important, and this is recommended by many clinical practice guidelines. In this study the investigators aimed to detect the incidence of perioperative hypothermia in adult patients in the operating room, and to detect the possible associated risk factors.
In this randomized prospective single-blind study,American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification system ( ASA )I-II-III patients aged 50-80 years undergoing transurethral bladder resection will be randomly divided into two groups. First group will be covered with 41 centigrade degrees double layered cotton cloth. Second group will receive active prewarming. Core temperature of all patients will be monitorized via tympanic membrane. Skin temperature will be monitorized from 4 different body areas. Spinal anesthesia will be applied at the level of L3-L4 by a 25 Gauge quincke needle with a dose of 12.5-15 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine. Pinprick test will be used for sensorial block assessment. T10 sensorial block will be our goal. Hemodynamic parameters will be recorded. Skin temperature will be monitorized before and after spinal anesthesia and changes will be recorded. Operation time, amount and temperature of irrigation fluids, transfusion requirement, discharge time from postoperative care unit will also be recorded. Shivering score and thermal comfort scale will be used. The two groups will be compared for the temperature changes.
The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the efficiency in preventing perioperative hypothermia of a continuous active prewarming combined with active intraoperative warming versus passive prewarming plus intraoperative warming for short outpatient surgery.
Inadvertent postanesthetic hypothermia is unintentional drop in core body temperature <36C (96.8F) immediately following an operation, caused by multiple factors, and had lead to negative outcomes. In our institute, a study in 2011 reported an incidence of postoperative hypothermia in PACU of 45.4% (95% CI 39.61%- 51.23%). After that, various interventions aimed to prevent perioperative hypothermia were implemented. This study is initiated to determine the incidence of postoperative hypothermia and associated factors of postoperative hypothermia in adult patients underwent surgery at Siriraj hospital.
This study evaluates the effect of active prewarming on the frequency and duration of perioperative hypothermia. 50% of patients will receive active warming with forced-air devices prior to entering the operating room, and the other 50% will not receive any active heating measures.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of EnsoETM as a supplemental warming device compared to the standard of care warming practice in patients having major surgery.
Perioperative hypothermia is a common problem in today´s surgical and anesthesiological patient care and is associated with many adverse events. The intention of this study was to evaluate the current S3 guideline on the avoidance of perioperative hypothermia concerning it´s implementation in the clinical routine.
Background Major spinal surgery tend to be lengthy with an increased risk of hypothermia. A quality improvement project of patients undergoing major spinal surgery showed that 67 % were hypothermic at the beginning of surgery. Several patients expressed a feeling of coldness at the arrival of the operating theatre. Aim To evaluate if Bairhuggers Full Access Underbody blanket can prevent hypothermia at initiation if used as prewarming and intraoperative warming compared to the results from the local quality improvement project. In addition we aim to explore patients´ experiences of comfort in relation to their temperature. Method Temperature of patients undergoing major spinal surgery (n=30) will be assessed at arrival to the theatre, after insertion of bladder catheter, at the start and end of surgery using a bladder temperature. The patients´ experiences of comfort will be evaluated with a 5 point Likert at the arrival to the operating theatre and after ten minutes of active prewarming with Bairhuggers Full Access Underbody blanket. Preoperatively ten randomly chosen patients will be observed and later interviewed in order to obtain further information regarding their experiences of comfort in relation to their temperature. Conclusion and perspectives By increasing the investigators knowledge on Bairhuggers Full Access Underbody blanket and its effects in preventing hypothermia as well as gaining insight to patients´ experiences of comfort in relation to temperature, the investigators anticipate to improve pre-anesthetic care and minimize risk factors associated with hypothermia for patients undergoing major spinal surgery.
