Warming patients to prevent hypothermia after surgery
This test looks at whether warming patients during laparoscopic abdominal surgery helps prevent low body temperature (hypothermia) in the recovery room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having laparoscopic (keyhole) abdominal surgery with general anesthesia.
- You will be moved to a recovery room after surgery.
- You do not have a fever (temperature over 38°C / 100.4°F) before surgery.
- Your surgery is not an emergency.
- Your recovery room stay is not planned ahead of time.

This study aims to predict which children might get too cold during surgery under general anesthesia lasting more than 30 minutes. It's trying to create a simple checklist to help doctors keep kids warm and safe.
This study looks at how getting cold during surgery (hypothermia) might affect how confused or restless you feel when waking up from anesthesia. Researchers want to find ways to prevent these side effects and make your recovery smoother.
This study looks at how common low body temperature is during surgery and tests a tool to predict it. It may help your surgical team keep you warmer and safer.
This study tests how warming the intensive care room after your abdominal surgery affects your recovery. It includes patients who are in the ICU after planned surgery and have no major health problems that affect body temperature.
This trial tests if warming the body before kidney surgery can lower lactate levels, which may help recovery. It is for adults scheduled for a planned (not emergency) kidney removal.
This study tests if warming patients before surgery helps prevent low body temperature during a prostate laser procedure called HoLEP. It could help you stay more comfortable and reduce complications.
