No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Trauma is the leading cause of death in young adults, bleeding and infection are major concomitant problems. We test the hypothesis that fast, perioperative warming with an endovascular catheter versus forced air warming may improve patient outcome (primary outcome: combined perioperative morbidity, secondary outcome: bleeding, infection).
