Summary

The present proposal intends to determine the effect of prewarming on body temperature in the perioperative period of patients submitted to digestive system surgeries and to evaluate a perioperative "Zero-Heat-Flux Cutaneous" body temperature thermometer in comparison to the standard care (temporal thermometer in the preoperative and postoperative, and esophageal in the intraoperative period). This is a randomized clinical trial consisting of three groups, namely: preoperative warming of patients with blanket and cotton sheet (control); preoperative warming with forced air warming system for 20 minutes (Intervention 1), and participants submitted to preoperative warming with a forced air warming system for 30 minutes (Intervention 2).

Conditions

  • Hypothermia

Interventions

DEVICE

prewarming 20 minutes

prewarming with a forced air warming system, using a blanket covering the whole body, regulated to the temperature of 38 °C for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

prewarming 30 minutes

prewarming with a forced air warming system, using a blanket covering the whole body, regulated to the temperature of 38 °C for 30 minutes.
