Clinical Trial: Goal-Directed Temperature Management During Prolonged Abdominal Surgery

U.S., Oct. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07854704) titled 'Goal-Directed Temperature Management During Prolonged Abdominal Surgery' on Sept. 25.

Brief Summary: During long operations on the abdomen, patients often get cold. Doctors call this perioperative hypothermia. Even a small drop in body temperature can cause problems, such as more bleeding, wound infection, and a longer stay in hospital.

To keep patients warm during surgery, doctors usually blow warm air over the body through a special blanket. However, the fluids that patients receive through a vein during surgery are normally at room temperature. These cool fluids may lower the body temperature from the inside.
