Intraoperative Local Insufflation of Humidified Warmed CO2 Increases Core and Open Wound Temperatures? - A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating humidified warmed CO2 for Hypothermia. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Eighty adult patients undergoing open colon surgery will be randomized to either:standard warming measures or to additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide in the open wound cavity during major abdominal surgery. PRIMARY AIM is to test if core and local temperature can be increased.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide (approx. 30ºC, approx. 80-100% relative humidity) via a simple humidifier (sterile water in plastic bottle) connected to a gas diffuser (Cardia Innovation AB) that is able to create a local atmosphere of 100% carbon dioxide (humidified) in the wound cavity.
