Methods Single‐centre study in Korea
Participants 40 patients undergoing off‐pump coronary artery bypass surgery; 29 male, 11 female, average age 62 years
Exclusion criteria: patients requiring inotropes or intra‐aortic balloon pump, preoperative temperature < 36°C or > 37°C, anticipated need for cardiopulmonary bypass, skin disease, hypersensitivity to skin adhesives
Interventions Intravenous fluids warmed to 41°C (n = 20): mean volume infused crystalloid 2301.5 ± 1006.7, blood 400.5 ± 622.8 mL, anaesthesia time 280 ± 59 minutes
No warmed fluids (n = 20): mean volume infused crystalloid 2191.2 ± 622.3 mL, blood 365.0 ± 437.1 mL, anaesthesia time 278 ± 53 minutes
Both groups lay on a warming water mattress, and operating room temperature was maintained at 25°C
Outcomes Hourly bladder temperature recorded intraoperatively; temperature at 4 hours postoperatively; blood loss; length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay

Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk 'Randomly allocated'
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Unclear risk Not described
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Not described
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) 
 All outcomes Unclear risk Not described
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk No loss to follow‐up
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk No evidence of this
Other bias Low risk None
