Abstract:To investigate the effect of water circulating thermotropic blanket on maintaining body temperature in gastrointestinal surgery. Methods A total of 135 patients with gastrointestinal surgery in the Surgical Operating Room, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from June 2017 to August 2019 were selected, the patients were divided into control group 68 cases, and variable temperature group 67 cases by random number table method, the control group was given routine nursing, on the basis of the control group, the variable temperature group was given water circulation variable temperature blanket care, the changes of body temperature, waking time, extubation time, and total amount of infusion and irrigation were compared between the two groups. Results The overall analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between groups, at body temperature time point comparison and interaction (P<0.05). Further pairwise comparison showed that the intraoperative temperature of the two groups at each time point were statistically significant (P<0.05). The body temperature of the variable temperature group was higher than that of the control group at 30, 60, 90 min and the end of operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The waking time and extubation time of variable temperature group were shorter than those of control group, and the total amount of infusion and irrigation was lower than that of control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, the combination of gel pads and water circulation temperature blanket can enhance the control effect of core body temperature stability, shorten the time of wakefulness and extubation, reduce the total amount of intraoperative infusion and irrigation, and avoid complications caused by intraoperative temperature changes on the basis of preventing pressure ulcers.
