NCT00710320 | Completed DMC

• 1 other identifier: IRB No 14004
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 44
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

We aim that uncovering patients during induction of general anesthesia does not decrease core body temperature in pediatric patients.

Conditions

Hypothermia

Keywords

Children core temperature,; Pediatric surgery,; Anesthesia induction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Covered group during induction of general anesthesia will be greater by 0.5ºC than the uncovered group during induction of general anesthesia.

  1.5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Covered and uncovered, will be equal during surgery and post-operatively. In other words, due to the active warming procedures during surgery and post-operatively in the PICU, core temperatures of the uncovered group will catch up to the covered group.

Procedure/Surgery

Procedure: Covered and uncovered anesthesia induction

Interventions

Covered and uncovered anesthesia induction PROCEDURE

We hypothesize that the core temperatures of: 1. the covered group during induction of general anesthesia will be greater by 0.5ºC than the uncovered group during induction of general anesthesia. 2. both groups, covered and uncovered, will be equal during surgery and post-operatively. In other words, due to the active warming procedures during surgery and post-operatively in the PICU, core temperatures of the uncovered group will catch up to the covered group.
