Warming during hip replacement surgery for older adults
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You are scheduled for a planned (not emergency) hip replacement surgery with general anesthesia
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III, meaning mild to moderate health conditions are okay)
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems (score above 2 on a simple memory test)
- You do not have nerve, brain, or psychiatric conditions that affect thinking or memory
- You do not have hormonal or metabolic problems that affect body temperature control
