Does the addition of active body warming to in-line intravenous fluid warming prevent maternal hypothermia during elective caesarean section? A randomised controlled trial

摘要

Introduction: Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia occurs frequently during elective caesarean section but perioperative active body warming is not widely used. There is a paucity of evidence of its use in the obstetric population, and no applicable guidelines. We set out to identify a superior active warming method for preventing inadvertent perioperative hypothermia.
