Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PRIMARY AIM is to test if core and local temperature can be increased.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
standard warming measures including heating sheets, warming of fluids, and insulation of limbs and head, or to additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide (approx. 30ºC, approx. 80-100% relative humidity) via a simple humidifier (sterile warmed water) connected to a gas diffuser (Cardia Innovation AB) that is able to create a local atmosphere of 100% carbon dioxide (humidified ) in the open wound cavity.
PRIMARY AIM The primary aim of this study is to evaluate if humidified carbon dioxide insufflated into an open surgical wound can be used to warm the core, open wound cavity, and the wound edges during major abdominal surgery.
SECONDARY AIMS Secondary aims are to evaluate possible differences between the groups regarding complications and clinical differences including histological signs.

Standard heating
Standard intraoperative warming measures including heated sheets, heating with forced warmed air, warming of fluids, and insulation of limbs and head.
humidified warmed CO2
Additional insufflation of humidified carbon dioxide (approx. 30ºC, approx. 80-100% relative humidity) via a simple humidifier (sterile water in plastic bottle) connected to a gas diffuser (Cardia Innovation AB) that is able to create a local atmosphere of 100% carbon dioxide (humidified) in the wound cavity.
