No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will investigate how chest temperature relates to blood loss and blood clotting. Researchers will use infra-red thermometers to measure the temperature of the chest at the end of surgery see if this relates to the amount of blood collected from the surgical drains. In addition, researchers will test if warm irrigation of the chest increases the temperature of the chest and if this impacts blood loss.
