Filter by: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.
BHSAI is developing a computational system that provides early alerts of a rise and fall in core body temperature to help reduce the risk of thermal injury in the field and during training. The goal of the body temperature alerting system is to use it during rest, exercise in the heat and cold. Therefore, the primary purpose of this investigation is to validate a body temperature alerting system using physiological responses that occur during rest, exercise in the heat and cold. Multiple cold ambient temperatures will be validated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the best method for keeping patients warm during cesarean deliveries and the effect of temperature change on the patient and baby
70% of surgical interventions are abdominal surgeries. Open abdominal surgery is performed in patients for whom minimally invasive approaches are not suitable. In these surgeries in which general anesthesia is used, the duration of the operation is longer, complications are more frequent, and postoperative recovery occurs later. Low body temperature before surgery, preoperative fasting and fluid deprivation before anesthesia, exposure of large body surface areas, evaporative heat loss during skin preparation using volatile solutions, large open cavity or abdominal surgery longer operative time and exposure to anesthesia, during surgical intervention excessive blood loss etc. surgical intervention poses a risk for the formation of undesirable hypothermia. Cardiovascular and respiratory system problems that may increase mortality due to hypothermia in surgical patients; may cause a decrease in heart rhythm, cardiac output, blood pressure and oxygen saturation, and an increased risk of cardiac arrest and ischemia. With the development of shivering, oxygen consumption increases and the "thermal comfort" of the patient deteriorates. The length of stay in the postoperative unit and hospital stay are prolonged, causing an increase in costs. Among the rapid recovery protocols, it is recommended to pre-warm the patients in the preoperative period to maintain normothermia. Many complications are prevented by different methods and warming procedures performed in the perioperative period. In our study, it was aimed to compare the effects of active and passive warming on hypothermia, vital signs and warmth comfort in the postoperative period in patients who will undergo open abdominal surgery.
This study compare effect of using survival thermal blanket and draping fabric as substitute for perforated blanket to reduce the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia in geriatric patients.
Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of warmed intravenous fluids (WIVF) on the core body temperature and the patients' thermal comforts during the postoperative period in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Design: This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 105 male patients undergoing TURP surgery and bladder irrigation were randomized to one of either room temperature (n=51) or warmed intravenous fluids (n=54) groups in postanesthesia care unit. The fluids in the experimental group were warmed until the body temperature was reached 36.0°C.
A prospective observational study aiming to monitor core temperature via an esophageal probe in out of hospital cardiac arrest during transport and until arrival in hospital. Insertion of an esophageal temperature probe will be done on scene during ongoing resuscitation manoeuvres based on European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2015 (or newer). Environmental temperature influence and hypothermia prevention interventions will be monitored.
This randomized trial will investigate important neurocognitive clinical outcomes of patients with acute severe carbon monoxide poisoning (ASCOP) randomized to receive either therapeutic hypothermia or normothermia combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO).
Accidental perioperative hypothermia is a frequent complication of anesthesia that favors the occurrence of infections, bleeding and perioperative cardiovascular accidents, and is responsible for perioperative excess mortality. Although preventive measures are widely used, it remains very frequent in France. This observation led a group of experts to draft, under the aegis of the Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR), several recommendations aimed at improving the prevention of perioperative accidental hypothermia. Perioperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36.0 ° Celsius. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypothermia prevention training on the proportion of hypothermic patients in the operating room.
The product innovation is a wearable device that (combined with a smartphone and back-end analytics system) acts as a sensor, processor and actuator, and is therefore designed to identify critical parameters (Kangaroo Mother Care adherence and temperature of neonate on a 24/7 basis and temperature of mother during these episodes), make intelligent and early diagnosis of (persistent or impending) neonatal hypothermia, maternal/neonatal fever and non-adherence to Kangaroo Mother Care and then trigger audio or visual alerts (via the wearable or smart-mobile phone) for action by the care-giver or front-line healthcare worker to enhance Kangaroo Mother Care duration or referral to a health facility as needed.
