What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This observational study looks at whether briefly warming adults before elective kidney removal surgery (nephrectomy) can lower blood lactate levels — a sign of how well tissues are getting oxygen — and improve recovery. Researchers will compare patients who receive routine prewarming with those who do not, tracking lactate, blood pressure, heart rate, ICU stay, and complications. No extra tests or procedures are added beyond standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
preoperative active warming using a device applied to the body surface for 10-15 minutes before anesthesia
What this could lead to
If prewarming is linked to lower lactate and fewer complications, it could support a simple, low-cost change to routine surgical care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The prewarming decision is made by the care team, not randomly assigned, which may bias results.
