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 | |
