“…In this systematic review, study design of randomised controlled trial (RCT) was considered as included evidence for evaluating the effectiveness strategy in preventing UIH. It is because RCT is the strongest primary source of quantitative evidence of the evidence hierarchy (Barry, Houghton, & Warburton, 2016).…”

Background: Unintentional intraoperative hypothermia was regarded as a common intraoperative symptom with serious complications. The active warming strategies of forced-air warming (FAW) and carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating were considered to be effective interventions for preventing hypothermia. However, the effectiveness of them was not reported consistently. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating compared with FAW in preventing hypothermia in patients undergoing elective surgeries. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: A rigorous systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis reporting checklist. Searching strategy was undertaken on the electronic databases of Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE and Medical Literature Retrieval Service. The assessment of study quality was performed through risk of bias of Cochrane handbook of systematic review of interventions. Data synthesis was conducted through meta-analysis with sensitive analysis. The quality of evidence was graded using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Results: A total of five randomised controlled trials with 282 patients undergoing elective surgeries were included in the quantitative synthesis. Four studies concluded that FAW was as effective as carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating in preventing hypothermia. However, one study yielded a different conclusion that the efficacy of FAW was superior to carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating with small incidence of hypothermia. Meta-analysis found that FAW was more effective than carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating in preventing hypothermia. Conclusions: In the elective abdominal surgery, carbon-fibre polymer-fabric resistive heating was less effective than FAW on the prevention of hypothermia. However,

Background Continuity of mentorship is central to students' clinical placement experience. Despite a plethora of studies investigating student-mentor relationships and how it affects grading, limited attention has been paid to the extent to which a lack of continuity of mentorship affects placement experience. Aims To explore the importance of mentor continuity on labour ward for pre-registration midwifery students. Methods A database search was conducted using the terms: ‘student midwives’, ‘continuity’, ‘mentor’, ‘preceptor’, ‘mentorship’, ‘labour ward’, ‘delivery suite’ and ‘experiences.’ Findings Continuity of mentorship enhances learning and improves clinical practice experience. Conclusions A lack of continuity affects all aspects of student midwives’ experiences of the labour ward. Good mentor practice should focus on continuity and the introduction of co-mentoring, where a student is mentored by at least 2 midwives, in order to reduce the strain on mentors while retaining the feeling of belonging that student midwives value.
