Systemic Prevention and Management for Perioperative Hypothermia and Its Effect on Patients Outcome

Not Applicable
Conditions
Hypothermia; Anesthesia
Interventions
Combination Product: high risk warm
Other: passive warming
Combination Product: moderate risk warm
Combination Product: low risk warm
Registration Number
NCT03878901
Lead Sponsor
Peking Union Medical College Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, single-blinded, multi-center study clinical trial to determine both clinical and health outcomes of stratified warm strategy to prevent intraoperative hypothermia. Participants enrolled into this trial will be from elective major surgery population in PUMC Hospital, Beijing Hospital and Xuanwu Hospital. investigators plan to enroll approximately 800 participants. Hypothermia risk will be evaluated through PREDICTOR model in all participants. According to hypothermia risk level, these participants will be stratefied into high, moderate and low risk group. Participants in each group will be randomly categorize into warm group and control group. Active warm and fluid warm strategy, prewarm and fluid warm strategy and only prewarm strategy are used for high risk, moderate risk and low risk patients seperately. For controll group traditional passive warm was used.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of intraoperative hypothermiaDuring operation

Core temperature\<36℃

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Length of stay in PACUPostoperative during in postanaesthesia care unit, up to 24 hours after surgery
digit span test.One day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

a memory test that involves remember a series of numbers test short time memory Higher values represent a better memory functions.

Lenght of Stay in hospitalimpatient period, up to 6 month after surgery
Incidence of Adverse cardiovascular eventsWIthin 6 month post operation
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),One day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

It's a scare to evaluate cognitive function. Total score is 30 . Higher values represent a better cognitive function.

Incidence of shiverduring in postanaesthesia care unit, up to 24 hours after surgery
Auditory Verbal Learning Test,One day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

a memory test that involves learning verbal material, usually single words presented in a list, that is continually presented over repeated trials. Higher values represent a better memory functions.

The amount of Intraoperative blood loss/blood transfusionDuring operation
The incidence of Surgical site infectionWIthin 30 days postoperative
Lenght of Stay in ICUimpatient period, up to 6 month after surgery
digit symbol substitution testOne day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

The digit symbol substitution test is an evaluation tool used to assess cognitive functioning. It initially was part of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Test (WAIS), a well-known test that measures an individual's attention. lower digit symbol test scores were correlated with a higher risk of developing dementia in both the five and 10 year groups.Higher values represent a better cognitive function.

Color Word Stroop TestOne day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

The Stroop Colour and Word Test (SCWT) is a neuropsychological test extensively used to assess the ability to inhibit cognitive interference that occurs when the processing of a specific stimulus feature impedes the simultaneous processing of a second stimulus attribute, well-known as the Stroop Effect. Higher values represent a better ability to inhibit cognitive interference.

postoperative cognitive dysfunction incidenceOne day preoperation and 1 , 7,30 days postoperation

* Z score=(postoperative score-preoperative core)/SD of non-surgical group

* Two or more than two item in cognitive examination Z score\<-1.96

* Z score=(postoperative score-preoperative core)/SD of non-surgical group Two or more than two item in cognitive examination Z score\<-1.96
