Application of perioperative 3M patient warming system in cesarean section
Objective To explore the causes of hypothermia in patients undergoing cesarean section during perioperative period,so as to take targeted temperature protection measures.Methods 80 patients undergoing cesarean section were randomly divided into an control group(M)and a test group(N).The control group adopted conventional thermal insulation measures,and the test group adopted 3M patient warming system to strengthen thermal insulation measures.The core temperature and body surface temperature at different time poins,and incidence of perioperative hypothermia and chills of the two groups were compared.Results There was no significant difference in core temperature between the two groups before anesthesia and 2 h after the start of surgery(P>0.05).After anesthesia,1 h after the start of surgery,2 h after the start of surgery and 1 h after surgery,the core temperature of the test group were(36.16±0.35),(36.24±0.38),(36.37±0.44)and(36.43±0.46)℃,which were higher than(35.43±0.55),(35.51±0.58),(35.58±0.67)and(35.67±0.57)℃ of the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Before entering the operating room,before anesthesia,1 h after the start of surgery,2 h after the start of surgery,there was no significant difference in body surface temperature between the two groups(P>0.05).After anesthesia,1 h after the start of surgery,2 h after the start of surgery,the body surface temperature of the test group were(34.63±0.56),(34.55±0.58)and(34.49±0.64)℃,which was higher than(33.83±0.59),(33.76±0.71)and(33.60±0.67)℃ of the control group.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of hypothermia and chills in the test group were 12.5%and 5.0%,which were lower than 52.5%and 27.5%in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Strengthening of temperature monitoring for patients with perioperative cesarean section and the use of 3M patient warming system for temperature protection have positive effects on preventing the occurrence of complications of hypothermia and chills,and also have clinical value in improving the comfort of patients.
