The effects of a forced-air warming system plus electric blanket for elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate: A randomized controlled trial
2018
Background:
Perioperative inadvertent hypothermia in elderly urology patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a well-known serious complication, as it increases the risk of myocardial ischemia, blood loss, and surgical wound infection. We conducted this prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the combined effect of a forced-air warming system and electric blanket in elderly TURP patients.
