NCT ID NCT07450092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a forced air warming device can be used by emergency responders to rewarm people who have become dangerously cold (accidental hypothermia) before they get to a hospital. Only 4 healthy volunteers will take part to see if the procedure is practical and works as expected. The study does not involve actual hypothermic patients, so it is a first step to see if the idea is worth testing further.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Forced air warming device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that forced air warming is a practical way to start rewarming hypothermic patients before they reach the hospital.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 4 healthy volunteers, not real patients. It only tests feasibility, not effectiveness, and may not translate to real-world emergency settings.
