Abstract in brief

  • The study reviews the effectiveness of active body surface warming systems (ABSW) in preventing complications related to unintended perioperative hypothermia, which can cause issues like infections, bleeding, and delayed healing during surgery.
  • The researchers analyzed data from 67 randomized controlled trials involving over 5,400 patients, comparing different ABSW methods, devices, and their impacts on clinical outcomes beyond just temperature control.
  • The findings aim to determine whether using ABSW systems before and during surgery effectively maintains normal body temperature and reduces perioperative complications in adults.]

@GongGasGirl @BruceBiccard This 2016 Cochrane Review suggested active body surface warming was associated with reduced surgical site infection (RR) 0.36, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.66. But evidence base is weak - 3 RCTs, 589 pats, low-quality evidence. This new trial will shake that up! https://t.co/woMn79zflu
