Prevention of Perioperative Hypothermia in Transurethral Resection Under

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Perioperative hypothermia is one of the most common anaesthetic complications, increasing the morbidity/mortality of our patients. Active prewarming with hot forced-air devices has demonstrated to be the most effective tool to prevent hypothermia, but its use is only recommended in long-term surgeries and the optimal prewarming duration has not been elucidated. Both spinal anaesthesia associated to the irrigation with liquids at low temperature instilled during transurethral resection (TUR) cause a decrease in the core temperature of the patient. This is a clinical trial comparing different time periods of prewarming in patients submitted to undergo elective transurethral resection. Our aim is to assess the effect of different time-periods of prewarming on preventing perioperative hypothermia during TUR with spinal anaesthesia. Investigators will compare different time periods: 0 minutes (control group), 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes. 200 patients are going to be included in this study (50 patients in each group). Measurement of temperature will be performed using a tympanic thermometer and zero-heat-flux temperature sensor. Patients will be followed throughout their hospital admission. Data will be recorded using a validated instrument and will be analysed using the statistics program R Core Team.

Clinical Trial Description

Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia is probably the most common anaesthetic complication. Its appearance increases the morbidity of the surgical patient, increasing the incidence of cardiac events or perioperative blood loss and causes a greater time of recovery from anaesthesia. Prewarming is the most effective measure to prevent hypothermia and maintain intraoperative normothermia. However, prewarming in patients submitted to spinal anesthesia is still a weak recommendation and the optimal prewarming time has not been elucidated. Due to the searching of optimal prewarming time and the lack of evidence about the efficiency of prewarming in patients submitted to transurethral resection under spinal anaesthesia, the conductance of this clinical trial is justified. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
