Temperature Changes During Induction of General Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients

NCT00710320 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 44

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We aim that uncovering patients during induction of general anesthesia does not decrease core body temperature in pediatric patients.

Conditions

  • Hypothermia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Covered and uncovered anesthesia induction

We hypothesize that the core temperatures of: 1. the covered group during induction of general anesthesia will be greater by 0.5ºC than the uncovered group during induction of general anesthesia. 2. both groups, covered and uncovered, will be equal during surgery and post-operatively. In other words, due to the active warming procedures during surgery and post-operatively in the PICU, core temperatures of the uncovered group will catch up to the covered group.
