Effect of different thermal insulation measures during anesthesia induction on perioperative body temperature of elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal laparotomy
Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of different thermal insulation measures during anesthesia induction on perioperative body temperature of elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal laparotomy. Methods Eighty patients patients with gastrointestinal laparotomy treated in Yunfu People′s Hospital of Guangdong Province from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with routine thermal insulation measures, and the observation group was treated with comprehensive thermal insulation measures. The changes of body temperature and the total incidence of adverse reactions during anesthesia and after operation were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in body temperature between the two groups before anesthesia(P>0.05). The body temperature after operation in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive thermal insulation measures for elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal laparotomy can not only reduce the patient′s body temperature, but also improve the safety of the operation to a certain extent.
