Methods | Single‐centre study in Korea | |
Participants | 50 patients undergoing elective arthroscopic shoulder surgery 4 patients were excluded because of incomplete data; no other exclusion criteria were described |
|
Interventions | Room temperature irrigation fluid (n = 23): volume irrigated 10.3 ± 4.3 litres, surgical time 91.1 ± 32.4 minutes Warmed irrigation fluid to 37°C to 39°C (n = 23): volume irrigated 9.8 ± 3.2 litres, surgical time 94.5 ± 21.9 minutes |
|
Outcomes | Core temperature (oesophageal) measured every 20 minutes; shivering; fall in haemoglobin | |
Notes | No shivering score was used | |
Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Randomly assigned |
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 | Low risk | Shivering detected by an independent observer |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Unclear risk | 4 excluded because of incomplete data |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | Low risk | No evidence of this |
Other bias | Low risk | None |
