ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether adding warm air to the lower body during a cesarean delivery, in addition to giving warmed intravenous (IV) fluids, helps keep mothers comfortable and their temperatures stable. Researchers want to see if there are any benefits to using both warming methods compared to just using warmed IV fluids. They will also look at how often mothers experience shivering, how comfortable they feel during the procedure, and how healthy the newborns are right after birth.

To participate in this trial, women must be between 18 and 50 years old, be having a planned cesarean delivery after 37 weeks of pregnancy, and have a certain level of health as defined by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Those with allergies to local anesthetics or certain medical conditions that prevent the use of spinal anesthesia are not eligible. Participants will receive either the combination of warming methods or just the warmed IV fluids, and they will be monitored throughout the process to gather data on their comfort and health outcomes. This research could help doctors decide the best way to keep mothers comfortable during cesarean deliveries.
