In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

During long operations on the abdomen, patients often get cold. Doctors call this perioperative hypothermia. Even a small drop in body temperature can cause problems, such as more bleeding, wound infection, and a longer stay in hospital. To keep patients warm during surgery, doctors usually blow warm air over the body through a special blanket. However, the fluids that patients receive through a vein during surgery are normally at room temperature. These cool fluids may lower the body temperature from the inside. This study compares two ways of keeping patients warm during operations on the abdomen that last three hours or longer. Everyone taking part receives warm air blown over the body. In addition, one group receives fluids into a vein at room temperature, about 23 °C, which is the usual practice. The other group receives the same fluids warmed to 39 °C by a special device just be
