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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 therapeutic cooling (hypothermia) can improve outcomes in people with ARDS, a serious lung condition causing breathing failure. It may help by reducing harmful inflammation and lung injury, but eligibility is time-sensitive and requires ICU monitoring.
This trial tests whether adding mild hypothermia (cooling the body) helps people who are having a severe heart attack and need a heart-lung machine and a breathing tube. It focuses on those with a blockage in the front part of the heart.
This trial tests if gently cooling the body to 33°C after a cardiac arrest in the hospital improves recovery compared to keeping a normal temperature. It aims to protect the brain and help patients wake up better.
This study tests whether warming the fingers improves the accuracy of pulse oximetry (a device that measures oxygen levels) in critically ill patients. If you qualify, the study may help improve oxygen monitoring for you and other ICU patients.
