Study Summary

This trial aims to measure core body temp in C/S patients kept warm with an Upper or Underbody Forced Air Warming device to see which is better.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women over 18 years old having a planned Cesarean Section without emergency complications. Candidates must not have bleeding disorders, extreme body weight, multiple pregnancies, severe pregnancy-related conditions like eclampsia or pre-eclampsia, or significant hormonal diseases.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares the effectiveness of two types of warming devices during C-sections: one that warms the upper body and another that warms underneath the body. The goal is to determine which positioning results in better post-operative core body temperature maintenance.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since both warming devices are commonly used and approved for surgical procedures, side effects are minimal but may include skin irritation at the site of application or discomfort due to warmth.
