Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of the study is to compare effect of pre-warmed intravenous fluids on the early outcomes in ambulatory patients undergoing monitored anesthesia care.

Full description

Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) has been increasing in fast track anesthesia for ambulatory or outpatient surgery. MAC provides lower anesthetic agents than general anesthesia, however it has been shown to result high anesthetic complication rate because of negligent monitoring. Therefore, aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pre-warmed intravenous fluids on the core body temperature and the early outcomes.
