6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two temperature management systems, the warmUP (WU-20) and the Bair Hugger®, in preventing perioperative hypothermia during surgeries. The study aims to determine whether the warmUP system is as effective as the Bair Hugger® in maintaining core body temperature. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: Does the warmUP system maintain intraoperative body temperatures as effectively as the Bair Hugger® during abdominal surgeries? Does the warmUP system offer additional benefits, such as reduced bacterial dispersion compared to the Bair Hugger®? Participants will: Use either the warmUP or Bair Hugger® system during surgery Undergo abdominal surgeries lasting approximately 2.5 hours Have their core temperatures monitored to assess the effectiveness of the warming device The study will evaluate whether the warmUP system provides equivalent temperature management with a smaller body surface area exposed, potentially offering advantages in surgical infection control.
To look at the feasibility of using a water warming/cooling garment (called the ALLON system) to maintain a target body temperature during surgery and chemotherapy perfusion (a method of pouring chemotherapy throughout your abdominal cavity) without overheating or overcooling your body.
The aim of this observational comparison study is to compare the HR and respiratory RR of intraoperative surgical patients simultaneously recorded by standard intraoperative monitors and the ATLASense RAPHAEL PolyMonitor. A second aim is to determine the extent of data loss and data gap duration, and validate the PolyMonitor alert system for tachycardia and bradycardia. Additional parameters of non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and body temperature will also be compared between the PolyMonitor and standard intraoperative monitors. Finally, this study will provide insight into the logistics of intraoperative use of the PolyMonitor.
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of EnsoETM as a supplemental warming device compared to the standard of care warming practice in patients having major surgery.
Hypothermia is a common and serious complication during anesthesia and surgery. Anesthetic-induced hypothermia results from the inhibition of thermoregulatory control and exposure to cold operating room environment. Various warming methods, such as warm blankets, forced-air warmers and circulating water mattresses, are currently used to prevent and treat mild perioperative hypothermia. All are cutaneous approaches that rely on heating the peripheral tissues in order to increase the thermal core temperature. Application of cutaneous warming system blankets/pads are limited by location/extent of operative site; for example, in certain procedures such as laparatomies, reconstructive plastic surgery or orthopedic surgery, only a limited amount of skin surface is available for warming application. The Dynatherm vitalHEAT technology takes advantage of the body's natural thermoregulatory system to channel thermal energy to the body's core non-invasively at a rapid rate. The vital heat (vH2) system is designed to treat hypothermia during the peri-operative period through a combination of localized heat and vacuum application to one hand \& forearm; this application 1) opens the arteriovenous anastamoses located in the palm of the hand and 2) conductively warms the extremity thus effectively warming the blood flow to the body's core. The vital heat vH2 system is a portable and compact warming device which provides a non-invasive approach to warming patients during surgery. The primary objective of this study is to determine if the Dynatherm Medical vitalHEAT (vH2) Temperature Management System is as effective as the forced-air warming Bair Hugger™ (Arizant Healthcare, Eden Prairie, MN) for maintenance of intraoperative body temperature in patients undergoing abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. The critical endpoints to be evaluated in making this determination are 1) % of subjects with an average intraoperative esophageal temperature of ≥ 36º C and 2) % of subjects with an initial post anesthesia care unit sublingual temperature of ≥ 36º C. Secondary objectives include 1) comparison of the core body temperatures @ 60 minutes post anesthesia induction, 2) comparison of temperature trends during surgery and 3) comparison of the subjects' post anesthesia care unit temperature trends and hypothermic symptoms such as shivering.
This prospective randomized clinical trial will assess the effect of pre-operative convective warming on intra-operative thermoregulation in patients undergoing gastrointestinal or genitourinary surgical procedures with the Tiger anesthesia perioperative protocol.
