Intra-operative fluid warming in elective caesarean section: a blinded randomised controlled trial

Effect of short-term prewarming on body temperature in arthroscopic shoulder surgery

“…Preventive methods include skin surface warming [9], warm and humidified circuit [10], and administering fluid or warming blood using specific devices [11]. Among these methods, forced-air warming is a very effective and safe method [12].…”

Part 13: Neonatal Resuscitation

“…[81][82][83][84] Maternal hypothermia in labor has not been shown to be associated with clinically significant adverse neonatal outcomes at the time of birth. [85][86][87][88][89] Although maternal hyperthermia is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes, there is insufficient evidence to make a recommendation on the management of maternal hyperthermia. The ability to maintain temperature in resource-limited settings after birth is a significant problem, 40 with a dose-dependent increase in mortality for temperatures below 36.5°C.…”

Peri‐operative warming devices: performance and clinical application

“…In the few clinical studies comparing these two methods, the use of pre-warmed fluid was found to be as effective as the Astotherm [29] and the Hotline fluid warmer [30] in preventing peri-operative hypothermia during short surgical procedures and elective caesarean section, respectively. When compared with administering fluids at room temperature, the use of pre-warmed fluid was also associated with significantly improved peri-operative patient core temperatures [29][30][31].…”
