Hypothermia care bundle after heart surgery
This trial tests a new set of care steps (a 'care bundle') to help prevent dangerously low body temperature after heart surgery in the intensive care unit. Nurses and patients in the cardiovascular ICU work together to see if this bundle works better than usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse who has worked in the Cardiovascular Surgery Intensive Care Unit for at least 6 months.
- You volunteer to take part in the study.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are within the first 24 hours after heart surgery in the Cardiovascular Surgery ICU.
- You or your legal representative agrees to participate in the study.
- Your surgery was not an emergency, you do not have a rare body-temperature problem, and your health risk before surgery is not at the highest levels.

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 a special sleep program (bundle) to help patients sleep better after heart surgery. Researchers want to see if it improves recovery and well-being.
This study looks at the best body temperature to use during heart surgery when a heart-lung machine is needed. You may be able to join if you are having bypass surgery or valve repair, your risk score is moderate or higher, and your surgery is not an emergency.
