NCT ID NCT00372268

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested four different ways of conditioning the carbon dioxide gas used during laparoscopic (keyhole) womb surgery. The goal was to see if warming, wetting, or adding a numbing medicine to the gas could prevent a drop in body temperature (hypothermia) and reduce pain after surgery. 248 women took part, and the researchers compared the effects of each gas type on temperature and pain levels.
