Investigating how low body temperature during surgery affects recovery agitation
Evaluation of The Relationship Between Perioperative Hypothermia and Emergence Agitation
Kocaeli City Hospital · NCT06543134
This study is testing if keeping patients warm during surgery can help reduce agitation when they wake up from anesthesia.

What this trial studies
This study aims to explore the connection between perioperative hypothermia and emergence agitation in patients undergoing elective surgeries. It focuses on patients aged 18-65 who are classified as ASA 1-2 and are scheduled for surgeries lasting at least 30 minutes. The research will assess the incidence of unintentional hypothermia and its potential impact on postoperative recovery, particularly the occurrence of agitation during emergence from anesthesia. By analyzing various risk factors and outcomes, the study seeks to highlight the importance of temperature management in surgical settings.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-65 undergoing elective surgeries lasting at least 30 minutes with ASA classification 1-2.
Not a fit: Patients who are undergoing emergency surgeries, those with neurological diseases, or those on antidepressants or antipsychotic medications may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for preventing hypothermia and reducing postoperative agitation, enhancing patient recovery.
How similar studies have performed: While the relationship between hypothermia and postoperative outcomes has been explored, this specific focus on emergence agitation in the context of hypothermia is relatively novel.
