About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a custom-made forced-air warming mattress can prevent heat loss in patients undergoing vascular surgery better than a circulating-water mattress

Read the detailed description

A reusable, custom-made forced-air warming mattress was made of a light to medium weight water resistant canvas, sewn like mattress with 2 arms placed underneath the patient. An open hole at proximal part of one arm was designed to attach with a hose of warm air delivery device. Small holes (2-3 mm2), 5 inches apart were punched on the upper surface of this mattress around the patient except for the area underneath the patient that the holes were 9 inches apart. The weight of the patient will obstruct the air flow and prevent direct blowing of warm air onto the underside of patients. There is a special appendage connected to the upper part of mattress which can connect warm air to cover the patient's chest. There is a special appendage connected to the upper part of mattress which can convect warm air to cover the patient's chest. The mattress is 97 inches x 97 inches, with 2 arms of 25 inches x 16 inches and a special appendage of 45 inches x 12 inches for covering the chest with warm air delivery. This size is proper for patient of 170 cm. height. In order to reuse it, the mattress can be washed, dried and sterilized by gas or autoclaved for more than 50 times. A sterile sheet well enhance the sterile environment of the operating field.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing warming device (a reusable, custom-made forced- air warming mattress) in people with Hypothermia and Vascular Surgery, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

skin and nasopharyngeal temperature (time frame: 180 min). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2009.
