UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial

Significant differences in body temperature changes were found between the NS and S group (p = 0.004). The mean skin temperature in the S group was higher than in the NS group. Mean skin temperature was significantly higher in the sevoflurane group than in the propofol group (p < 0.000).

Mean of age and gender ratio (male/female) in each groups were followed: GOS-F group(28.5, 6/11), GOS-R group (25.8, 8/9), GOS-RF group (24.7, 8/6), GOP-F(25.0, 6/6), GOP-R group (26.0, 3/10) and GOP-RF group (25.8, 8/10).

Total patient numbers were 91. Number of GOS-F group, GOS-R group, GOS-RF group, GOP-F group , GOP-R group, and GOP-RF group were 17, 17, 14, 12, 13 and 18.

Based on the occurrence of shivering, the 91 patients were classified into a shivering (S) group (n = 22, 24.2 %) and a non-shivering (NS) group (n = 69, 75.8 %). The RF anesthesia subgroups had 19 patients in the S group and 43 in the NS group; The non-RF anesthesia subgroups had 3 patients in the S group and 26 in the NS group. Thus, shivering was significantly associated with RF anesthesia (p = 0.035).
Significant differences in body temperature changes (change from control value) were found between the NS and S group (p = 0.004). The mean skin temperature in the S group was higher than in the NS group. Mean skin temperature was significantly higher in the sevoflurane group than in the propofol group (p < 0.000).
Significant differences were found between the NS and S groups in forearm minus-fingertip skin temperature gradients (p = 0.008). Forearm minus-fingertip skin temperature gradients differed significantly between the sevoflurane and propofol- groups (p = 0.031).
No significant changes in bladder temperature were observed between the NS and S groups (p = 0.239) or between the sevoflurane and propofol groups (p = 0.379).
