The use of active warming devices is advocated and practised widely. The forced-air warming (FAW) blanket is currently a popular modality. The BARRIER\u00ae EasyWarm\u00ae (M\u00f6lnlycke Healthcare, Belrose, Australia) self-heating blanket, which does not require a power unit, has been proposed as an easy-to-use alternative to the FAW blanket. We conducted a single-centre, randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of the EasyWarm\u00ae self-heating blanket to the Cocoon blanket (Care Essentials, North Geelong, Australia), a conventional FAW blanket, in preventing intraoperative hypothermia. Forty patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia lasting &gt;1 h were randomized in a 1:1 ratio. Prewarming was not allowed; 39 patients were analysed (19 EasyWarm\u00ae group and 20 Cocoon blanket group). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with regard to the mean (\u00b1standard deviation) final nasopharyngeal temperature (35.89\u2009\u00b1\u20090.82\u2009\u00b0C versus 35.74\u2009\u00b1\u20090.77\u2009\u00b0C;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.72 in the Cocoon and EasyWarm\u00ae blanket groups, respectively). Similarly, the difference between average temperatures at 1, 2 and 3 h was not statistically significant. We found the EasyWarm\u00ae blanket to be as effective as the Cocoon FAW blanket in preventing intraoperative hypothermia. Due to its ease of use, the EasyWarm\u00ae blanket may have an additional benefit in preoperative warming of patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0310057x19840264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]],"date-time":"2019-05-20T07:09:44Z","timestamp":1558336184000},"page":"169-174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparison of the EasyWarm\u00ae self-heating blanket with the Cocoon forced-air warming blanket in preventing intraoperative hypothermia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Hosim Prasai","family":"Thapa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda J","family":"Kerton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorectal and Upper GI Units, Operating Theatre, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip J","family":"Peyton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anaesthesia, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-1609.2011.00227.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0136136"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0b013e3181845502"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1521-6896(03)00049-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1997.03540380041029"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003246-199210000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(96)90466-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-199811000-00013"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199605093341901"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200108000-00040"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinane.2016.06.030"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0310057X0403200309"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ACO.0b013e328331d134"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/EJA.0000000000000369"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","unstructured":"NICE Clinical Guidelines No. 65.
