Effect of the Steep Trendelenburg Position on Respiratory Gas Heat Content
Completed
- Conditions
- Effect of Patient Position on Airway Heat Content
- Registration Number
- NCT02153164
- Lead Sponsor
- University of California, Davis
- Brief Summary
This is a single site, prospective, non-blinded, non-randomized, non-interventional study designed to evaluate the effect of changes in patient position on the measurement of respiratory heat loss (enthalpy). This study would be carried out on patients whose operation requires the use of the steep Trendelenburg position independent of this study.
