Prehospital use of forced air warming
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a forced air warming blanket before reaching the hospital can help healthy adults. It aims to see if keeping people warm during transport improves outcomes.

This trial tests a new heating device called 'Therm'Up' to see if it can help prevent or treat hypothermia (dangerously low body temperature) in people who have had a serious injury, are bleeding, have burns, or are stuck in the cold. The goal is to keep patients warm during the time it takes to get them to the hospital.
This study tests different levels of external rewarming (using warm blankets or devices) in healthy people to see how the body responds to warming up from low body temperature.
This trial tests whether actively warming a cool, sedated intensive-care patient with sepsis helps recovery. Sepsis is a life-threatening reaction to infection that can make body temperature drop, and this study aims to see if warming can improve outcomes.
This trial compares two ways of controlling body temperature after a cardiac arrest that happens in the hospital: cooling to 91.4°F (33°C) versus keeping a normal temperature. The goal is to see which approach helps patients recover better.
This study tests whether warming your hands can make the oxygen monitor (pulse oximeter) more accurate in ICU patients with poor blood flow. It aims to improve how doctors measure your oxygen levels so they can give better care.
This trial tests whether keeping patients warm during hip replacement surgery can reduce the amount of anesthesia medicine needed. It may help older adults recover more smoothly and avoid complications from getting too cold during surgery.
