Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for elective peripheral artery surgery with a BMI under 30 and no communication barriers.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with orthopedic disabilities in the surgical extremity or neurological diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of using a thermal blanket on patients undergoing peripheral artery surgery to prevent postoperative hypothermia. It involves a randomized control trial with 60 patients divided into an experimental group receiving the thermal blanket and a control group. Data will be collected using various scales to assess pain, mobility, and neurovascular status. The goal is to determine if maintaining normal body temperature can improve recovery outcomes and reduce complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient comfort and recovery by reducing postoperative complications associated with hypothermia.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown that maintaining normothermia in surgical patients can lead to improved outcomes, suggesting this approach may be beneficial.
