Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 303107 0
Primary outcome is to determine the incidence of inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia, defined as core temperature <36°C at any time during the perioperative period. The core temperature is assumed to be that of tympanic membrane temperature, since tympanic membrane temperature is easily obtained and has been validated to reflect core temperature. Infrared tympanic thermometer is used for assessment (Genius 2, Mansfield, USA)
Timepoint [1] 303107 0
6 months
Secondary outcome [1] 337897 0
Identify possible correlations with perioperative hypothermia of risk factors such as age, sex, height, weight, preoperative fasting period, ASA physical condition score, habits, comorbidities, type and size of surgery, endoscopic surgery usage, duration of anesthesia and surgery, irrigation and infusion fluids, room temperature and humidity, active or passive heating usage.

Statistical methods / analysis
According to similar studies in the literature, the required sample width as a result of power analysis, by using PASS 11 (Power and Sample Size, version 11, for Windows), was determined as at least 1372 individuals in total. In this case, the power of the test is expected to be approximately 85.16%.
