Clinical Trial Summary

We propose to test the hypothesis that aggressive warming reduces the incidence of major cardiovascular complications, compared to routine care. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to routine care (core temperature ≈35.5°C), while the other half will receive aggressive warming (>37°C core temperature) in a multi-center trial.


Description:

Hypothermia increases sympathetic activation, promotes tachycardia, and causes hypertension - all of which may increase the risk of myocardial injury. Moderate perioperative hypothermia is now uncommon, but mild hyperthermia (≈35.5°C) remains common. Whether aggressive warming to a truly normothermic level (≈37°C) improves outcomes remains unknown.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
aggressive warming
Patients will be pre-warming 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia and aggressively warmed during surgery to a target intraoperative core temperature between 37 and 37.5°C.
routine thermal management
A forced-air cover will be positioned but will not initially be activated. The warmer will be activated when core temperature decrease to 35.5°C.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With a Composite Outcome Consisted of Myocardial Injury After Non-cardiac Surgery (MINS), Non-fatal Cardiac Arrest, and All-cause Mortality The primary outcome was a composite of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery, non-fatal cardiac arrest, and all-cause mortality within 30 days of surgery. Myocardial injury was diagnosed when available troponin concentrations exceeded generation-specific and type-specific thresholds and were apparently of ischaemic origin (ie, no other obvious cause for artifactual elevation). We used the following thresholds based on available literature at time of adjudication: 1) non-high-sensitivity (fourth-generation) troponin T =0.03 ng/ml2; 2) high-sensitivity troponin T =65 ng/L; or high-sensitivity troponin T 20-64 ng/L and an increase =5 ng/L from baseline3; 3) high-sensitivity troponin I (Abbott assay) is =75 ng/L4; 4) high-sensitivity troponin I (Siemens assay) is
=60 ng/L5; or, 5) troponin I (other assays) greater than local 99th percentiles. Myocardial infarction diagnosis required both troponin elevation and at least one diagnostic symptom or sign.
From the end of surgery to 30 days after surgery
Secondary Deep or Organ-space Surgical Site Infection Surgical site infection is defined by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. It is consisted of superficial infection, deep infection, and organ-space infection.
Superficial infection: Infection involves only skin or subcutaneous tissue of the incision.
Deep infection: Infection appears to be related to the operation and infection involves deep soft tissues (e.g., fascial and muscle layers) of the incision.
Organ-space infection: Infection involves any part of the anatomy (e.g., organs or spaces), other than the incision, which was opened or manipulated during an operation.
From the end of surgery to 30 days after surgery
Secondary Number of Patients Requiring Intraoperative Transfusion intraoperative transfusion will be yes if this patient received more than 0 unit of red blood cells. From surgery start to surgery end
Secondary Duration of Hospitalization The length of hospital stay in days, censored at 30 days From the day of surgery to the day of discharge, or 30 days after surgery if the patients is still hospitalized
Secondary Readmission Readmission to a hospital within a month of surgery From the end of surgery to 30 days after surgery
