Active clinical trials for "Body Temperature Changes"

The patients scheduled to undergo major abdominal surgery in litotomy position will be randomized into two groups in order to compare the effects of two warming techniques during the intraoperative period.

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a skin-to-skin facilitating garment used by mother-infant dyads. It has three phases including researcher observation, randomised controlled trialing and qualitative midwifery staff perspective. The research will determine the effect a facilitating garment has in comparison to conventionally facilitated skin-to-skin contact, by measuring its effect on the baby's temperature stability, breastfeeding status and weight velocity.

Fluid boluses are often administered with the aim of improving tissue perfusion in critically ill patients. It is unclear whether the temperature of the fluid has an impact on the hemodynamic response. The aim of this study is to describe the hemodynamic effects of a fluid bolus with two different temperatures.

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of 3 different skin temperature placement probe in the case room on the admission temperature to the NICU in preterm infants. The authors aim to evaluate which placement results in more preterm in the acceptable range (36.5-37 °C).

This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain, anxiety, and vital signs of oncology patients undergoing port catheter implantation. The study was carried out with 139 participants (69 intervention, 70 control) between September 2019 and January 2020. A patient identification form, state anxiety inventory, a table for vital signs, and a visual analog scale for pain severity were used for the data collection. Data were collected from the patients before, during, and after the implantation. In the intervention group, a virtual reality device, movies, and relaxing music were provided to the patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of warmed intravenous fluids (WIVF) on the core body temperature and the patients' thermal comforts during the postoperative period in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Design: This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 105 male patients undergoing TURP surgery and bladder irrigation were randomized to one of either room temperature (n=51) or warmed intravenous fluids (n=54) groups in postanesthesia care unit. The fluids in the experimental group were warmed until the body temperature was reached 36.0°C.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of auricle position on body temperature measurements made with tympanic membrane thermometer in adult patients. Methods: The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and a post-test. A total of 143 patients who fit the inclusion criteria of the study were included in the sample. The research carried out between 1 November - 31 December 2016 in the emergency department. Body temperature measurements were carried out on the patients in the study firstly by not changing the position of the auricle and then repeated after a minute, this time by changing the position of the auricle. Results: The difference between the measurement values found in two different positions was 0.31 0C, and the Bland Altman plot showed that the differences were distributed systematically around the value 0.31. The difference between the lengths of measurements performed on two separate positions was detected to be 1.08 second. During body temperature measurements performed through giving position to auricle, 59.2 % of the patients never felt discomfort. Conclusions: It was found in the comparison of two positions that there was a significant difference between the tympanic membrane thermometer measurements made by positioning the auricle and those without positioning.

The present study is a pilot study aiming to compare the variation in core temperature (measured through the non-invasive device Spot-OnTM3MTM) in patients submitted to neuraxial anesthesia for orthopedic procedures, during sedation with midazolam vs propofol.

Purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate and compare various patient centered outcomes using diode LASER in Continuous mode (CW) and Pulsed Mode (PM) using 300µm and 400µm fiber for depigmentation procedure.

The aim of the study is to study the thermoregulatory responses under real life conditions, such as during wheelchair rugby and basketball matches. A further goal is to develop and validate a standardised field-based protocol, which induces the same thermoregulatory response as during a wheelchair rugby and basketball match. This knowledge allows to investigate strategies to reduce heat stress and to enhance exercise performance (e.g. pre-cooling) in the future, based on standardised conditions.
