ABSTRACT

PROSPECTIVE COMPARISON OF ACTIVE AIR BLOWN HEATER AND RESISTIVE TYPE HEATERS FOR PREVENTION OF HYPOTHERMIA IN HIGH CURRENT AND LOW CURRENT INHALATION ANESTHESIA

Aim: Unintentional perioperative hypothermia is a common occurrence. One of the recommendations of the guidelines to prevent hypothermia is the use of active warmers. It is known that low-flow anesthesia protects from hypothermia compared to high-flow anesthesia. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy of using active air blown heater and resistive heater in preventing hypothermia in patients with low flow and high flow inhalation anesthesia.

Materials and Methods: After ethics committee approval (Date: 08.12.2022/23), 112 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA; American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-III, who were to undergo rhinoplasty between June 01, 2023 and January 01, 2024, were included in the study after informed consent was obtained. Group DA was defined as low flow anesthesia and active air blast heater, group DR as low flow anesthesia and resistive heater, group YA as high flow anesthesia and active air blast heater, and group YR as high flow anesthesia and resistive heater. Each group consisted of 28 patients. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation values and body temperature values were measured and recorded at certain time intervals during the perioperative period and in the recovery unit. Body temperatures were also recorded in the ward. Thermal comfort scores were evaluated on admission, in the recovery unit and in the ward, while shivering score and patient satisfaction score were evaluated only in the recovery unit.

What participants receive

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

  • COVIDIEN WarmTouchDevice

    Also called INDITHERM Medical Alpha

    "COVIDIEN WarmTouch will be used as an active air blowing heater. Patients will be warmed starting from the beginning of anesthesia."

    "The INDITHERM Medical Alpha, which is a resistive heater, will be applied to patients starting at the beginning of anesthesia."

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurement of body temperatures in patients using two different body heaters during anesthesia applications.

    In our study, two patient groups receiving high current and low current anesthesia will be heated with only one type of heater, either active air blowing heater or resistive heater, from the beginning of anesthesia. Their body temperatures will be measured and recorded throughout the operation.

    In our study, COVIDIEN WarmTouch will be used as an active air blowing heater. INDITHERM Medical Alpha will be used as a resistive-type heater. Throughout the entire operation, body temperature will be monitored using the zero-heat flow method from the temporal artery to the body surface (3M Spot ON).

    Measured: 6 mounth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing COVIDIEN WarmTouch in people with Anesthesia and Hypothermia, run by Fatih Sultan Mehmet 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 1 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Oct 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact abdullah md pabucci (+905531918241, dr.pabucci@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of body temperatures in patients using two different body heaters during anesthesia applications. (time frame: 6 mounth). 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 31 Oct 2023.
