About this study

This study was planned to investigate whether the wetness of surgical drapes (disposable and resusable drapes) used in the intraoperative period causes hypothermia.

Read the detailed description

After being informed about the study and potential risk all patients giving written informed consent then the study started. Patients who will undergo elective, gastrointestinal and other major abdominal surgery were included in the study. After patients were randomized by the investigator, patients were covered with disposable or reusable surgical drapes in accordance with hospital procedure. The body temperatures of the patients were followed for 2-6 hours as tympanic and esophageal. In addition, pre- and postoperative surgical drapes, sponges, compresses were measured with precision scales.
