About this study

The patients scheduled to undergo major abdominal surgery in litotomy position will be randomized into two groups in order to compare the effects of two warming techniques during the intraoperative period.

Read the detailed description

The patients will be randomized into two groups. All patients will receive prewarming with forced-air warming device for 30 minutes. All patients will receive warmed fluids during intraoperative period. One group will receive warming with only forced-air warming device and the other group will receive warming with both forced-air warming device and water mattress. Timpanic, esophageal and peripheral temperature monitoring will be performed.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HICO-VARIOTHERM 550 and Mistral-Air Plus forced air warming device in people with Temperature Change, Body, run by Hacettepe University 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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Body temperature-esophageal probe (time frame: Perioperative period-every 15 minutes). 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 7 May 2019.
