First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether warming patients before digestive surgery helps keep their body temperature normal. 105 adults having cancer surgery were divided into three groups: one with standard blankets, and two using a forced-air warming system for 20 or 30 minutes. The study also compared a new skin thermometer to standard ones to see which is better at detecting low temperature.
