No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to assess the temperature changes that take place throughout the body in a real world setting, when a patient is given general anaesthesia. Specifically we will investigate the movement of body heat from the core to the peripheries at the beginning of surgery. This will be measures with a series of temperature sensors and infrared thermography

Conditions

  • Hypothermia Following Anesthesia

Interventions

DEVICE

Intraoperative Forced Air Warming

As part of their standard care, patients undergoing surgery \>30 min in duration will receive forced air warming in the form of a Bair Hugger. This is a blanket covering their upper torso and arms into which warm air is blown.
