Impact of Prewarming on Perioperative Body Core Temperature and the Outcomes of Cytoreductive- and Major Open Abdominal Surgery: A Randomised Trial (PREWARM)

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 48 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Charite University, Berlin, Germany · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether a prewarming period of at least 30 minutes during induction of general and combined epidural anesthesia reduces the core temperature drop normally occuring in patients undergoing cyto-reductive and major abdominal surgery. In addition the effect of prewarming on intra and postoperative body core temperature will be evaluated.

Conditions

• Hypothermia
