Impacts of perioperative warming on vital findings and blood parameters of patients having cholecystectomy

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effects of preoperative, preoperative, and postoperative warming on vital signs and blood parameters in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study was carried out in operating room A of a research and practice hospital. Necessary permissi-ons were obtained from the university research ethics committee, hospital, and patients. Eighty patients who had undergone medical operations in the hospital in the last six months were included in the sampling method. Body temperatures and physiological findings of the patients and room temperature were also given as percen-tages. Repeated measurements of variance and t-test evaluated postoperative physiological results of each patient. The average body temperature of the patients was 36.36+ 2.81°C, and the average body temperature after the operation was 36.33+ 2.80°C (p >0.05). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patients before the operation was 102.64+11.529 mm Hg. The mean arterial pressure of the patients in the recovery room after the operation was 98.55+ 9.940. During the operation, the MAP was between 96 and 98 Hg. There was a significant difference in terms of the mean arterial pressure of the patients (p <0.05). The average hemoglobin, lymphocyte, platelet counts, activated partial thromboplastin time levels, and values were within the normal range, and there was a significant difference in terms of importance and levels before and after the operation (p < 0.05). The average preoperative, preoperative and postoperative blood urea nitrogen (BUN) values of the patients were 13.79+ 6.126, 13.70+6.752, and 13.52+7.637, respectively. They were within the normal range, and there was no statistical difference (p >0.05). As a result, it can be said that keeping the preoperative, preoperative, and postoperative body tempera-tures of the patients positively affects blood pressure, respiration, and oxygenation and help to normalize these values. In addition, it keeps erythrocyte, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, thrombocyte, APTT, BUN, AST, ALT values within the normal range. It contributes positively to the healing process of the wound. In order to increase the accuracy of this study, it is recommended to conduct studies that include more control and experi-mental groups.
