A Risk Prediction Model for Hypothermia After Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Tumor Surgery

Launched by RENJI HOSPITAL · Jul 20, 2023

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to predict which patients may develop hypothermia after undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumors, such as cancers of the stomach, colon, and small intestine. Hypothermia, or a dangerously low body temperature, can lead to complications after surgery, making it important to identify patients who are at a higher risk. Researchers will use different methods, including advanced computer algorithms, to create models that help identify these high-risk patients and find ways to prevent hypothermia.

To participate in the trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and scheduled for specific types of laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. However, if you have a fever or low body temperature before the surgery, or if you have other specific health issues, you may not be eligible to join. If you participate, you can expect to help researchers understand how to better predict and prevent hypothermia, potentially improving outcomes for future patients undergoing similar surgeries. The study is currently not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights for future research in this area.
