First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests different ways to keep patients warm during laparoscopic gallbladder removal. 128 adults will be randomly assigned to receive no active warming, a warming blanket, warmed IV fluids, or both. Researchers will measure body temperature and blood markers of inflammation before and after surgery to see which method works best.
