Effects of Warmed, Humidified CO2 Insufflation on Body Core Temperature and Cytokine Response

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to assess if the conditioning of the insufflation carbon dioxide (CO2) allows for an additional benefit in terms of prevention of the heat loss, when compared with the usual prevention with a forced warm air blanket alone, in the setting of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
