Understanding Temperature During HIPEC Surgery
This study aims to better understand how body temperature changes during Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) surgery. HIPEC is a treatment for certain abdominal cancers. While there are guidelines for managing temperature during HIPEC, actual body temperatures can vary a lot. Researchers want to create a computer model that can predict these temperature changes more accurately by collecting extra temperature data during your HIPEC procedure. This could help improve how HIPEC is done in the future. You may be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) and are scheduled for HIPEC surgery for abdominal cancer at HFH-Main. The study is currently observational, meaning it involves monitoring without changing your treatment, and the enrollment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study involving 30 participants. It is not a randomized or blinded study.
- What's involved
- You would receive your standard HIPEC treatment, with the only difference being the use of additional temperature probes to collect more data during the 2-4 hour procedure.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Temperature will be measured during the HIPEC procedure (2-4 hours).
