NCT ID NCT05015582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested different warming methods—like forced air blankets and warmed IV fluids—to prevent hypothermia in women having planned C-sections. Only 16 women participated before the trial was stopped early. The goal was to see which method best keeps mother and baby warm and reduces complications like shivering.
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 blankets and warmed IV fluids
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to a simple, low-cost way to keep mothers and newborns safer during C-sections by preventing hypothermia.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early with very few participants, so results are not reliable. Warming methods may not make a meaningful difference in outcomes.
