Temperature Study in Cesarean Section
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cesarean Section, Hypothermia
In brief
During surgery body temperature can decrease which can adversely affect how people recover from surgery. This is a common problem. We aim to reduce the incidence of this drop in body temperature during surgery by testing the effectiveness of warm intravenous fluids that the patients will receive as they are being infused, and of warm air blown into a blanket covering the body. The control group will not have any active warming methods. Study group 1 will have the intravenous fluid warmer in the pre- and intraoperative period. Study group 2 will have a forced-air warmer in the intra-operative period as well as the fluid warmer in the pre- and intraoperative period. We will also observe the neonates' vital signs following delivery.
