Comparison of Electric Heating Pad Versus Forced-air Warming to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia

Comparison of Electric Heating Pad Versus Forced-air Warming to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Parc de Salut Mar · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Compare core body temperature after laparoscopic surgery using the forced air heating system versus the WARMTAC® (a carbon fiber electric blanket).

Detailed description

In order to prevent perioperative hypothermia, we will compare two different heating sistems, one of them is an electric pad made with carbon fiber and the other system is a forced-air blanket. Both of them will be situated under the patient during all the laparoscopic surgey.

Conditions

• Temperature Change, Body
• Hypothermia; Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	WARMTAC	Randomization to one of the arms previous to surgery.
DEVICE	3M Bair Hugger	Randomization to one of the arms previous to surgery.
