چکیده
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of forced-air warmers and radiant heaters on rewarming after cardiac surgery in a prospective randomized study. METHODS Fifty male patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery were studied. The control group (Gr. C, n=10) was nursed under a standard hospital blanket. Two groups were treated with forced-air warmers: WarmTouch 5700 (Gr. WT, n=10) and Bair Hugger 500 (Gr. BH, n=10). Two other groups were treated by radiant heaters: the Aragona Thermal Ceilings CTC X radiant heater (Gr. TC, n=10) and a self assembled radiant heater of 4 Hydrosun 500 infrared lamps (Gr. HY, n=10). Changes of oesophageal temperature, mean skin temperature, mean body temperature and relative heat balance were calculated from oesophageal temperature, 4 skin temperatures and oxygen consumption (VO(2)). RESULTS All actively treated groups with exception of the TC group showed significantly faster oesophageal warming than the control group. The mean body temperature increased 1.1 (0.7-1.7) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. WT, 1.3 (0.7-1.5) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. BH, 0.8 (0.5-1.4) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. TC and 0.7 (0.4-1.0) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. HY compared to Gr. C with 0.4 (0.2-0.7) degrees Ch(-1). The mean VO(2) and the maxima of the VO(2) during the study period did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSION In the current setting active warming, forced-air warming more than radiant warming, increased speed of rewarming two- to threefold in comparison to insulation with a blanket.

متن کاملBenefits of intraoperative skin surface warming in cardiac surgical patients.
We have investigated patients undergoing cardiac surgery with hypothermic bypass to see if the addition of skin surface warming during systemic rewarming on bypass (heated group, n = 43) would improve perioperative thermal balance compared with conventional management without skin warming (control group, n = 43) in an open, randomized, controlled study. Intraoperative skin warming with a water ...
