Comparison of Electric Heating Pad Versus Forced-air Warming to Prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Temperature Change, BodyHypothermia; Anesthesia
- Registration Number
- NCT04410068
- Lead Sponsor
- Parc de Salut Mar
- Brief Summary
Compare core body temperature after laparoscopic surgery using the forced air heating system versus the WARMTAC® (a carbon fiber electric blanket).
- Detailed Description
In order to prevent perioperative hypothermia, we will compare two different heating sistems, one of them is an electric pad made with carbon fiber and the other system is a forced-air blanket. Both of them will be situated under the patient during all the laparoscopic surgey.
