About this study

Official title: The Effect of Preoperative Warming on Postoperative Hypothermia in TURP Surgery

36 patients American society of anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I,II and III undergoing general anesthesia for elective transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) surgery will be included in the study. Patients will be randomized into two groups; first group(control group) and second group (forced-air warming). Resistive heating will start when patients are transferred to the operating room table; forced-air warming will start before preoperative 30 minute.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study was to compare the effect of prewarming on perioperative hypothermia in elderly patients undergoing TURP under general anesthesia. In addition, we aimed to evaluate the effects of prewarming on hemodynamic variables, PACU output time, tremor, patient comfort and satisfaction. The investigators plan to enroll 36 patients in 2 groups. Body temperature will be measured at the core temperature, hemodynamic variables. Shivering will be graded by visual inspection. Thermal discomfort scale, patient satisfaction will be evaluated. The investigators hypothesize will decrease the forced air prewarming incidence of perioperative hypothermia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Perioperative measurements of core temperature (centigrade ° C)

    After the operation patients will be admitted to the PACU. Here, body temperature will be assessed and the incidence of hypothermic patients (body temperature < 36°C)will be measured.

    Measured: 2-3 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluation of hemodynamic variables (arterial blood pressure)

    systolic blood pressure (SBP) in mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in mmHg, mean arterial pressure (MAP) in mmHg will be measured.

    Measured: 2-3 hours

  2. Evaluation of hemodynamic variables (heart rate)

    heart rate (HR) in beats per minute will be measured.

    Measured: 2-3 hours

  3. Number of patients with postoperative shivering

    After the operation patients will be admitted to the PACU. Here, postoperative shivering will be measured and graded by visual inspection.

    Measured: 2-3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing forced air warming group in people with Preventing Hypothermia and Perioperative Hypothermia, run by Ankara Diskapi Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 8 Oct 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Perioperative measurements of core temperature (centigrade ° C) (time frame: 2-3 hours). 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 8 Oct 2019.
