Active clinical trials for "Hypothermia"

After dividing the patients into two groups, sedation is performed with propofol and remimazolam, respectively, after spinal anesthesia. Compare the patient's body temperature change after surgery.

This study was planned to investigate whether the wetness of surgical drapes (disposable and resusable drapes) used in the intraoperative period causes hypothermia.

The overall hypothesis is that better adherence to Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) in combination with existing WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of moderate hypothermia (32-36 degrees C) or severe hypothermia (<32.0 degrees C) in term infants (greater than or equal to 37 weeks of gestational age) when compared with routine WHO thermoregulation alone.

Neonatal hypothermia is associated with increased risk of mortality as well as multiple morbidities. The investigators objective is to determine if an increase in ambient operative room temperature decreases the rate of hypothermia. Operating room temperature will be randomized to the current institutional standard (67°F) or a temperature of 73°F on a weekly basis for a period of six months.

The overall hypothesis is that plastic bags used in combination with WHO thermoregulation care will reduce the incidence of hypothermia in preterm/low birth weight and full term infants when compared to routine WHO thermoregulation care alone. Part V is comparing standard WHO thermoregulation practices plus use of a plastic torso wrap to no plastic torso wrap in full term infants from resuscitation to one hour after birth.

The purpose of this proposed study is to evaluate a normothermia protocol that includes preoperative warming and standard intra operative temperature management in patients undergoing general surgery.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patients' temperatures after using one of two ventilator circuits (breathing systems): the ANAPOD™ Heat and Humidification System (ANAPOD™ system) or the standard ventilator circuit with a heat-moisture exchanger (standard ventilator). The ANAPOD™ system will provide additional heat and humidity to patients through their breathing tube while the standard ventilator will not. The investigators are doing this research study to find out if the ventilator circuit providing additional heat and humidity will keep patients warmer during surgery and after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a custom-made forced-air warming mattress can prevent heat loss in patients undergoing vascular surgery better than a circulating-water mattress

Hypothermia in preterm infants during the immediate postnatal phase is associated with morbidity and mortality and remains an unresolved, worldwide challenge. A list of interventions, including adequate room temperature, use of infant warmers, polyethylene bags/wrap, pre-heated mattresses, caps and heated and humidified gases, to prevent thermal loss at birth in very preterm infants has been recommended, but a certain percentage of very preterm infants are hypothermic at the time of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission suggesting that further measures are needed. The thermal servo-controlled systems are routinely used in the NICU to accurately manage the patients' temperature, but their role during the immediate postnatal phase has not been previously assessed. We hypothesized that using a thermal servo-control system at delivery could prevent heat loss during this delicate phase and increase the percentage of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) in the normal thermal range (temperature 36.5-37.5°C) at NICU admission. The aim of this study will be to compare two modes of thermal management (with and without the use of a thermal servo-controlled system) for preventing heat loss at birth in VLBWI infants.
