About

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of prewarming methods in preventing intraoperative hypothermia in patients undergoing HoLEP surgery. Designed as a randomized controlled study, patients who receive prewarming will be compared with those in the control group.

Enrollment: 106 estimated patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Male patients aged 18 years and older
• Patients undergoing HoLEP surgery under general anesthesia
• Patients who consent to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

• Patients who refuse to participate in the study.
• Patients unable to read, understand, or sign the informed consent form.
• Hemodynamically unstable patients.
• Patients with a preoperative or intraoperative body temperature >37°C.

106 participants in 2 patient groups

Prewarming Group

Experimental group

Description:

Patients will receive 10 minutes of 43°C forced-air warming and 41°C prewarmed intravenous fluid before surgery. Surgery will begin following the standard induction of general anesthesia once patients are in the operating room. An air blower set to 43°C will maintain patient warmth throughout the procedure.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: intraoperative body temperature

Control Group

Other group

Description:

No prewarming will be applied. Surgery will begin following the standard induction of general anesthesia once patients are in the operating room. An air blower set to 43°C will maintain patient warmth throughout the procedure.

Treatment:

Diagnostic Test: intraoperative body temperature
