Trial summary

Accidental perioperative hypothermia is a frequent complication of anesthesia that favors the occurrence of infections, bleeding and perioperative cardiovascular accidents, and is responsible for perioperative excess mortality. Although preventive measures are widely used, it remains very frequent in France. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Perioperative Collection of Temperatures and Hypothermia (Recueil périOpératoire Des Températures et de l'Hypothermie - ROTHY)

Accidental perioperative hypothermia is a frequent complication of anesthesia that favors the occurrence of infections, bleeding and perioperative cardiovascular accidents, and is responsible for perioperative excess mortality. Although preventive measures are widely used, it remains very frequent in France. This observation led a group of experts to draft, under the aegis of the Société Française d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation (SFAR), several recommendations aimed at improving the prevention of perioperative accidental hypothermia.

Perioperative hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36.0 ° Celsius.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypothermia prevention training on the proportion of hypothermic patients in the operating room.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of intraoperative hypothermia

    From the time of entry into the operating room to the time of exit from the operating room. Hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36°Celsius (presence or absence).

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of hypothermia in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)

    From the time of entry into the PACU, hypothermia is defined as a core body temperature below 36°Celsius (presence or absence).

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  2. Tympanic temperature in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU)

    From the time of entry into the PACU to the time of exit from the PACU.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

  3. Intraoperative tympanic temperature

    From the time of entry into the operating room to the time of exit from the operating room.

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypothermia and Hypothermia; Anesthesia, run by Centre Leon Berard at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of intraoperative hypothermia (time frame: Up to 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04935632, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Feb 2023.
