About
The investigation was designed as an Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomised, Controlled Investigation to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of the BARRIER® EasyWarm Active Self-Warming Blanket Used for Continuous Active Warming to Prevent General Anaesthesia Induced Hypothermia During the Perioperative Surgical Period. Null hypothesis (H0): There is no difference between the two study populations (interventional treatment group versus control treatment group) regarding the average of core body temperature measurements during the perioperative phase.Alternative hypothesis (H1): The average of core body temperature measurements during the perioperative phase is significantly higher in the interventional group compared to that of the control group.

Inclusion criteria
Gender: Both men and women are included into the study
Subjects' age: Subjects must be at least 18 years old to be included into the study
Type of anaesthesia: Only subjects receiving general anaesthesia are included into the study
Type of surgery: Subjects undergoing only the following three types of surgical procedures (i.e. inclusive of laparoscopic procedures) are included into the study:
Length of surgery: Subjects scheduled for a surgery with a minimum length of 30 minutes and maximum length of 120 minutes
Temperature: Subjects should have a tympanic temperature measurement equal to or greater than 36.0 degrees Celsius when first measured in the preoperative setting the same day as the surgical procedure and before randomisation
Informed Consent Form (ICF): The subject must be able to understand and sign an ICF
Method of temperature assessment: The subject must be able to receive temperature assessments via a tympanic thermometer
Preoperative warming: Subject's scheduled surgical procedure must allow time to be warmed with a fully activated study Investigational Device (ID), at least 30 minutes prior to induction of general anaesthesia
Follow up: The subject must be able to complete a health outcomes questionnaire for follow up 24 hours (+/- 6 hours) after removal of the ID
