The Effect Of Intraoperative Forced Air Warmer Use, On Postoperative Nausea And Vomiting
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Intraoperative Hypothermia is a common problem, our object will be to evaluate the efficacy of forced air warmer (Model # eq-5000) for maintaining core body temperature in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries and its effect on postoperative nausea, vomiting and shivering.

| Other: FAW and Bair Hugger Group Group B, the intervention group (with FAW and Bair Hugger). |
Device: Bair hugger and Forces air warmer
The EQUATOR™ (EQ-5000) air-warmer is a convective warmer, with the average and maximum Contact Surface Temperatures of 39℃ & 44℃ Respectively. Temperature on this device can be set at 36℃ , 40℃ , 44℃. The 3M™ Bair Hugger ™ (SW-2003) upper body blanket is used to warm the body from head till the xiphisternum

| No Intervention: Control group Group A, the control group (No FAW or Bair Hugger) |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Post Operative Nausea Vomiting Scale [Day 1]
The scores of 0-3 will determine severity on the Post-operative nausea and vomiting scale. 0 - No nausea , No vomiting - Nausea present , No Vomiting - Nausea present , Vomiting present - Vomiting >2 episodes within 30 minutes
- Bedside Shivering Assessment Scale (BSAS) [Day 1]
The scores of 0-3 will determine severity on Shivering 0 -(none) No shivering is detected on palpation of masseter, Neck, or chest muscles -(mild) Shivering localized to Neck and thorax only -(moderate) Shivering involves gross movement of the upper extremities( in addition to neck and thorax) -(severe) Shivering involves gross movements of the trunk and upper and lower extremities
