Anapod™ Humi-Therm Heated Humidification System Breathing Circuit Versus Bair Hugger™ Warming Blanket for Intraoperative Maintenance of Body Temperature in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures: a Prospective Randomized Non-Inferiority Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Anapod™ Humi-Therm Heated Humidification System Breathing Circuit and Bair Hugger™ Warming Blanket for Temperature Change, Body. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Our goal is to evaluate the efficacy of the Westmed system vs the Bair Hugger Blanket.

Timeline
Interventions
For the Anapod™ group, the BairHugger™ blanket will be connected, but the unit will not be turned on. The Anapod™ will be used with a starting circuit temperature set at the standard 45°C (note, this is temperature at the unit - NOT the temperature of the gas reaching the trachea). In the event that the patient's rectal temperature falls below 35.6C, the BairHugger™ warming system will be activated ("Hypothermic Rescue"). In the event that rectal temperature increases to a value of ≥37.5C, the Anapod system will be turned off - and the BairHugger turned on with the warming unit set to "ambient" (meaning cool operating room temperature will be blown over the patient ("Hyperthermic Rescue").
For the BairHugger™ group, the blanket will be used with a starting temperature set at HIGH. The BairHugger™ unit will be attached to the warming unit and started as soon as possible. In the event that the patient's rectal temperature falls below 35.6C, the Anapod™ warming system will be activated ("Rescue"). In the event that rectal temperature increases to a value of ≥37.5C, the BairHugger™ warming unit will be set to "ambient" (meaning cool operating room temperature will be blown over the patient ("Hyperthermic Rescue").
