Cooling Vest May Reduce Heat Stress, Improve Thermal Comfort, and Preserve Cognitive Performance of Surgeons While Performing Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cooling Vest and Without cooling vest for Body Temperature Changes. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will propose a randomized cross-over trial using a uniform and strongly balanced 4-period design in which will include four operations for each surgeon. Surgeons will be randomized to 1 of 4 sequences: ABBA, BAAB, AABB or BBAA. The design is "uniform" in that each treatment appears the same number of times within each sequence (uniform within sequence) and if each treatment appears the same number of times within each period (uniform within each period). It is strongly balanced with respect to first-order carryover effects because each treatment precedes every other treatment, including itself, the same number of times
