About this study

Official title: Effect of Preoperative Oral Energy Drinks Compared to Warming Matress on Body Temperature During Combined Spinal-epidural Anesthesia for Elective Cesarean Delivery: a Randomised Non-inferiority Trial.

It is not known which is better for intraoperative temperature protection, warming matress or preoperative oral functional drinks in elective cesarean section. We plan to conduct a non inferiority randomized trial to clarify this problem.

Being tested
Oral energy drinks, Warming matress

What participants receive

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

  • Oral energy drinksOther

    Patients drank energy drinks (Red Bull®) 250ml about 2-2.5 hours before operation.

  • Warming matressDevice

    From the end of anesthesia, warming matriss at 40 ℃ was used to keep warm until the end of surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Core temperature change

    The minimum value of intraoperative ear temperature minus the preoperative baseline ear temperature.

    Measured: Before the operation, and every 10 minutes during the operation until the end of the operation.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Skin temperature changes

    The minimum value of intraoperative skin temperature minus the preoperative baseline skin temperature.

    Measured: Before the operation, and every 10 minutes during the operation until the end of the operation.

  2. hypotension

    Number of Participants with systolic blood pressure reduction >20% baseline value or systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg before delivery

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. The incidence of nausea in pregnant women

    Anesthesiologist observes combined patient dictation.

    Measured: Intraoperative

  4. Umbilical artery blood base excess

    base excess of fetal umbilical artery blood

    Measured: 30sec after delivery

  5. The incidence of vomiting in pregnant women

    Anesthesiologist observes combined patient dictation

    Measured: Intraoperative

  6. The incidence of shivering in pregnant women

    Anesthesiologist observes combined patient dictation

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oral energy drinks and Warming matress in people with Cesarean Section Complications, run by Peking University People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 21 Jan 2026. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Core temperature change (time frame: Before the operation, and every 10 minutes during the operation until the end of the 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 21 Jan 2026.
