enFlow IV Fluid and Blood Warming System

Completed
Conditions
Hypothermia; Anesthesia
Interventions
Device: enFlow IV Fluid and Blood Warming System
Registration Number
NCT04709627
Lead Sponsor
Vyaire Medical
Brief Summary

This study is part of a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF). The purpose of this study is to verify in a routine clinical environment with a number of caregivers and subjects that the enFlow performs as intended when used as an element of maintaining acceptable core temperatures.

Detailed Description

Eligible subjects from the study will be recruited from patients with scheduled surgeries. After being informed about the study and potential risks, patients given informed consent will undergo scheduled surgery with the use of enFlow IV Fluid and Blood Warming System. The following temperature measurements will be collected during surgery:

* Baseline temperature measurement (0-15 minutes prior to induction)

* Induction temperature measurements (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minute post-induction)

* Continued temperature measurements (every 30 minutes, plus end of surgery)

* OR ambient temperature at induction and end of surgery.

Temperature will be measured and collected post-surgery upon arrival to the PACU and 30 minutes post-arrival.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maintenance of intraoperative core temperature15 and 30 minutes post-induction, then every 30 minutes untl the termination of the scheduled surgical procedure, and a final measurement recorded at the time of termination of the scheduled surgical procedure.

Core temperature is defined as the highest temperature reading during 30 seconds made within 5 minutes of protocol time. The primary outcome measure will be the mean of the temperature measurements taken during the course of surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Core temperature for two periodsInduction: first 90 minutes. Post-Induction: after 90 minutes until the end of surgery,

The mean of the measurements taken during the Induction period and during the Post-Induction period.

Number of hypothermic eventsDuring 30 seconds made within 5 minutes of protocol time

The incidence and duration of hypothermic events (\<36.0C).

Number of hyperthermic eventsDuring 30 seconds made within 5 minutes of protocol time

The incidence and duration of hyperthermic events (\>38.0 oC).

Incidence of infusate outside acceptable operating range (i.e., device "green range")Induction: first 90 minutes. Post-Induction: after 90 minutes until the end of surgery,

Device reading 35-42 oC
