U.S., Nov. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07909252) titled 'Resistive Versus Forced-Air Warming for Prevention of Perioperative Hypothermia' on Oct. 26.
Brief Summary: Perioperative hypothermia (core temperature below 36.0 degC) is a common complication of surgery and is associated with increased blood loss, wound infection, cardiovascular events and patient discomfort. Forced-air warming (Bair Hugger) is the standard method of active warming. Resistive conductive warming (HotDog) transfers heat by direct contact and does not blow air into the operating room, which may be advantageous. This randomised trial will test whether resistive warming is not inferior to forced-air warming in preventin...
