Heat Loss in Humans Covered With Full-Body Blankets Connected to Different Warming Devices

February 19, 2024 updated by: The Cleveland Clinic
The investigators propose a single-center multiple crossover randomized trial to determine the efficacy of four warming devices and five warming blankets. The investigators will measure cutaneous heat loss/ gain using thermal flux transducers in unanesthetized volunteers.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators propose a single-center, assessor-Blinded, multiple crossover randomized trial to determine the efficacy of four warming devices and five blankets. The investigators will measure cutaneous heat loss/ gain using thermal flux transducers in unanesthetized volunteers.

American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 and 2 adults with body-mass index 20-33 kg/m2 will be included in this study. Volunteers will be excluded if they have serious skin lesions, history of allergy or skin sensitivity to tape or adhesive materials, serious vascular disease in the arms including Raynaud's Syndrome, or a history of recent fever or infection.

20 volunteers will be randomized to one of 5 different sequence groups: 1. Mistral Air, Blower MA1200-PM. plus the Adult Blanket plus, MA2220, 2. Mistral Air, Blower MA1200-PM plus the Premium Adult Blanket, 3320, 3. 3M, Bair Hugger, Blower 775 plus Blanket full body, 30000, 4. Smiths Medical, Blower L1-CW-100V, plus Blanket full body SWU-2001, 5. Care Essential, Cocoon, Blower CWS5000 plus Blanket Full Body blanket (CLM0101).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Heat transfer, thermal flux
Time Frame: 30 minutes
While using one of the 5 different warming blanket and warming blower systems, heat transfer will be measured on at 15 sites: Head, upper arm, forearm, hand, finger, back, chest, abdomen, medial thigh, lateral thigh, posterior thigh, anterior calve, posterior calves, foot and toe.
30 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Thermal comfort
Time Frame: 30 minutes
After completing 30 minutes using the warming system, before removing the warming blanket, volunteers will rate their thermal comfort in a 0-100 mm scale. the minimum is 0 representing the coldest and the maximum value is 100 mm representing the hotest sensation the participant can report.
