About this study

Official title: Effect of Prewarming During Induction of General Anesthesia Combined With Warmed Intravenous Fluid on Core Temperature in Patients Undergoing Urologic Surgery.

Hypothermia occurs frequently during general anesthesia. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of 10 minutes of prewarming during induction of general anesthesia during urologic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Hypothermia is of continuous issue in patients undergoing general anesthesia. During urologic operation (transurethral resection of bladder and prostate), bladder irrigation worsens hypothermia. Hence, various methods including prewarming of the patient are used to maintain core temperature during operation.

Prewarming is found to be effective in maintaining core temperature perioperatively by increasing peripheral tissue heat content. However, applying more than 30 minutes of prewarming may be impractical as a clinical routine practice. Hence, developing simple and effective method to prevent hypothermia is expected.

Here, the investigators planned to examine the effect of active warming (10 minutes of warming during induction of general anesthesia and prewarmed intravenous fluid intraoperatively) on hypothermia in patients undergoing urologic operation under general anesthesia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • warming during induction of anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Warming group patients are applied air-forced warming device (bair-hugger 43'C) with blanket (warm touch, COVIDIEN, full body blanket) during induction of anesthesia in the operation room.

  • Prewarmed intravenous fluid administrationProcedure or surgery

    Prewarmed intravenous fluid is connected.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of hypothermia at the end of the operation

    number of patients with hypothermia (<36'C) using esophageal stethoscope will be recorded.

    Measured: approximately 1-2hours after induction (at the end of operation)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. change in temperature drop before and end of operation

    change in core temperature will be observed

    Measured: on arrival at the OR upto 1-2hours after induction (at the end of the operation)

  2. thermal comfort

    thermal comfort scale ( 0= very cold, 5= fine, 10= very hot and uncomfortable) will be used.

    Measured: upto 1hour after end of the operation (at discharge of postanesthesia care unit)

  3. incidence of shivering

    4 point shivering scale (0=none, 1=core and neck shivering, 2= upper extremity 3= whole body) will be used.

    Measured: upto 1 hour after end of the operation (on arrival at the postanesthesia care unit)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing warming during induction of anesthesia and Prewarmed intravenous fluid administration in people with Urologic Diseases, run by Inje University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 30 Aug 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

incidence of hypothermia at the end of the operation (time frame: approximately 1-2hours after induction (at the end of operation)). 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 30 Aug 2023.
