Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility of using thermal blankets to actively warm massively bleeding trauma patients at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. It is hypothesized that either full thermal blankets or half thermal blankets will be a feasible intervention to implement for the care of massively bleeding trauma patients.


Clinical Trial Description

Hypothermia (core body temperature of <36˚C), is a strong risk factor for mortality and poor outcomes in trauma patients due to its negative hemostatic, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal effects. Current evidence has reported that massively bleeding hypothermic trauma patients have higher odds of mortality in the first 24 hours of hospital admission, increased length of stay, and increased need for transfusion. Standard hospital blankets are used to passively warm patients through resuscitation and treatment until arrival to the ICU. Interventions such as active heating through thermal blankets should be considered to prevent and treat hypothermia upon arrival of patients than standard warmed hospital blankets to prevent deleterious outcomes in this population. ;
