No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Eighty adult patients undergoing open colon surgery will be randomized to either:standard warming measures or to additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide in the open wound cavity during major abdominal surgery.

PRIMARY AIM is to test if core and local temperature can be increased.

Conditions

  • Hypothermia

Interventions

DEVICE

humidified warmed CO2

Additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide (approx. 30ºC, approx. 80-100% relative humidity) via a simple humidifier (sterile water in plastic bottle) connected to a gas diffuser (Cardia Innovation AB) that is able to create a local atmosphere of 100% carbon dioxide (humidified) in the wound cavity.
