Description
Introduction: Perioperative hypothermia can cause various adverse
physiological effects if not prevented. Preventing perioperative
hypothermia includes using a blanket warmer, warm parenteral fluid, and
operating room temperature modification. The research aimed to compare
the effectiveness of blanket warmer, warm parenteral fluid, and operating
room temperature modification in preventing perioperative hypothermia.
Methods: The research design was a true experiment with a posttest-only
control design approach. The sample size was 47 for each group, with 188
samples used for the four groups (warmer blanket, warm parenteral fluids,
room-modified temperature, and control). This study employed a simple
random sampling technique. The instruments used included Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP) and an axillary thermometer. The data was
collected by filling out an observation sheet, which included
observations—and data analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results: The highest average in preventing hypothermia was observed in
the group with operating room temperature modification, with a value of
136.84. The second highest was the blanket warmer group, with an
average of 95.59, followed by the warm parenteral fluid group, with an
average of 87.20. The control group had the lowest average at 58.3.
Conclusion: The group with operating room temperature modification
showed a significant difference from the other groups, indicating that this
intervention is more effective in preventing perioperative hypothermia.
