Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the current study is to examine whether changes in intraoperative ambient temperature has in impact on the clinical performance of the physicians in training which include Anesthesiology and Surgical residents, fellows and certified nurse anesthetists (CRNA). Reaction times will be measured via a 10-minute psychomotor vigilance test (PVT, Ambulatory Monitoring Inc., NY) device.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cold room

Anesthesia providers intraoperatively placed in ambient room temperature of 65 degreees (cold room), completing a 10-minute psychomotor vigilance test (PVT), followed up by a questionnaire on SurveyMonkey

Psychomotor vigilance test (PVT

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Psychomotor Vigilance Task Monitor is a hand-held, self-contained system used for repetitive reaction time measurements. The device measures the speed with which subject responds to visual stimulus (by pressing a response button).

Hot room

Anesthesia providers intraoperatively placed in ambient room temperature of 80 degreees (hot room), completing a 10-minute psychomotor vigilance test (PVT), followed up by a questionnaire on SurveyMonkey
