Heated Humidified Breathing Circuit Rewarming in Hypothermic Post Cardiopulmonary Bypass Patients.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Heated Humidified Breathing Circuit and Forced Air Blanket for Hypothermia and Rewarming. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hypothermia on admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is common. The investigators propose that rewarming hypothermic (≤ 35 C) patients admitted to the intensive care unit following procedures using CPB with heated humidified breathing circuits (HHBC) in addition to conventional forced air warming blankets will shorten time to normothermia. Secondarily it may shorten time to extubation, improve coagulopathy, and metabolic derangements seen with hypothermia.

Timeline
Interventions
Heated humidified breathing circuits (ANAPOD) will be set up and managed by respiratory therapist in standard fashion defined by the manufacturer. Temperate will be set at 41C. Forced air warming blankets will be set at 42C for duration of rewarming.
