Effects of combined warmed preoperative forced-air and warmed perioperative intravenous fluids on maternal temperature during cesarean section: A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial
BMC Anesthesiology Mar 06, 2020
Ni TT, et al. - Considering preventing the frequent perioperative hypothermia incidents occurring during elective cesarean deliveries as possibly beneficial, researchers conducted this trial estimating how preoperative forced-air warming alongside perioperative intravenous fluid warming affects women undergoing cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia. They performed random allocation of 135 women, who were undergoing elective cesarean deliveries, to either the intervention group (preoperative forced-air and intravenous fluid warming, n = 69) or the control group (no active warming, n = 66). Outcomes suggest a possible efficacy of warming preoperative forced-air and perioperative intravenous fluids in preventing maternal hypothermia, decreasing maternal shivering, and improving maternal thermal comfort in patients undergoing cesarean sections under spinal anesthesia.
