Warm before and after surgery: a simple step to cut hypothermia risks

NCT ID NCT06551558

First seen Apr 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

Half of patients arrive in the recovery room with dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia), which can increase bleeding, infection, and heart problems. This study tests whether warming patients not just during surgery, but also before and after, can prevent hypothermia and its side effects. About 174 adults having laparoscopic abdominal surgery will be randomly assigned to either standard warming (only during surgery) or extended warming (before, during, and after).
