What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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 study tested whether using forced air warming on different body parts during cesarean sections can prevent hypothermia (low body temperature) and shivering in mothers. 35 pregnant women were divided into groups: warming lower body, upper body, whole body, or no warming. The goal was to see which approach best maintains maternal temperature, reduces shivering, and improves thermal comfort, while also checking effects on the baby's Apgar score and breastfeeding.

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 effective, this simple warming method could help prevent hypothermia and shivering during cesarean sections, improving comfort for mothers and possibly benefiting newborns.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The intervention is not a treatment for a disease, just a comfort measure.
