Comprehersive warming nursing measures in perioperative period of neonates

Abstract

Objective To explore the application effect of warming nursing measures in perioperative period of neonates. Methods From January 2017 to December 2018, 56 neonates who underwent surgery in the Operating Room of Foshan Women and Children Hospital were selected as the study subjects. According to the different thermal protection measures during operation, they were divided into normal temperature group (n=28) and heat preservation group (n=28) . The number of hypothermia, the changes of intraoperative temperature, and the complications of postoperative chills and anxiety were compared between the two groups. Results The number of hypothermia in the normal temperature group was higher than that in the heat preservation group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The body temperature of the children in the heat preservation group was higher than that of the control group at each time point during operation, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . The number of anxiety and chills in the heat preservation group was lower than that in the normal temperature group, and the difference between the two groups on the number of chills was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusions The use of external liquid heating, electric blanket heating combined with local warming and surgical instrument pre-warming treatment in the operation process is a effective nursing measure to prevent neonatal hypothermia, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications.
