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 study looks at how common low body temperature (hypothermia) is after surgery in recovery rooms. It aims to help improve patient care by measuring temperature changes and related outcomes.
This study tests whether warming the body before surgery helps keep your body temperature stable during a prostate procedure called HoLEP, which is done with a laser under general anesthesia. If you are having this surgery, the results may help prevent chills or complications from getting too cold during the operation.
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 trial tests whether carefully managing a patient's body temperature during cancer surgery can reduce the risk of postoperative delirium and improve long-term survival. It is for older adults undergoing major cancer surgery.
This study tests whether carefully controlling body temperature during and after cancer surgery can help older patients avoid confusion or memory problems after the operation. If you are 65 or older and having a longer cancer surgery, this may be a good option to discuss with your doctor.
