Warm fluids may keep cancer surgery patients safer from chills
NCT ID NCT07192224
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a device to warm intravenous fluids during laparoscopic gastrointestinal cancer surgery helps prevent hypothermia (low body temperature) and shivering. 84 adults having elective surgery were split into two groups: one received warm fluids, the other room-temperature fluids. The goal was to see if the warm fluids could keep patients warmer during the procedure.
