Brief Summary

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

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of warmed intravenous fluids (WIVF) on the core body temperature and the patients' thermal comforts during the postoperative period in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Design: This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 105 male patients undergoing TURP surgery and bladder irrigation were randomized to one of either room temperature (n=51) or warmed intravenous fluids (n=54) groups in postanesthesia care unit. The fluids in the experimental group were warmed until the body temperature was reached 36.0°C.

Design: This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study.

The fluids in the experimental group were warmed until the body temperature was reached 36.0°C. The intravenous (IV) fluid given to the two groups was 1000 ml of 0.9% isotonic sodium chloride solution.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

The intervention and measurements were carried out by the first researcher, and the patients discovered their own groups when the postoperative warming intervention was applied to them. Because of the nature of the intervention, blinding could not be performed

Study Groups

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

Warmed Fluids

When patients recovered from the effect of anesthesia, awakened and were able to switch to normal spontaneous breathing, they were taken from the sober unit to the service or intensive care unit, and subsequent follow-ups were carried out by the researcher in these units. The IV fluid given to the patients in the intervention group was heated to 36ºC using the medical heating device.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Warmed Fluids

Intervention Type OTHER

The IV fluid given to the patients in the intervention group was heated to 36ºC using the medical heating device.

Room Temperature Fluids

When patients recovered from the effect of anesthesia, awakened and were able to switch to normal spontaneous breathing, they were taken from the sober unit to the service or intensive care unit, and subsequent follow-ups were carried out by the researcher in these units. The IV fluid given to the patients in the control group was given at room temperature without heating and without intervention
