New device aims to warm trauma patients faster, cutting deadly risks
NCT ID NCT06788925
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new heating device called Therm'Up to manage hypothermia in trauma patients. Hypothermia, when body temperature drops below 35°C, can worsen injuries and increase death risk. The trial will enroll 100 adults at risk of hypothermia due to trauma, cold exposure, or burns, and measure how well the device maintains or raises body temperature during prehospital care.
