Abstract: Objective:To investigate the incubation nursing to senile patients during the recovery period after general anesthesia.Methods:Eighty senile patients were randomly divided into control-group and survey-group,40 cases of each group.Patients in control-group were routinely cared,meanwhile,temperature intervention nursing were practiced to patients in survey-group by applying incubation tapetum,inputting warming liquid,humidificating DAR air-duct warmly etc.The prenarcotic temperature,initial temperature into post-anesthesia care unit (PACU),rewarming and detention time in PACU were monitored and the complications such as revival time delayed,dysarteriotony,shakes,restlessness were also monitored.Results:There were no statistical significance of prenarcotic temperature and initial temperature into PACU of two groups (P>0.05).However,there were remarkably statistical significance of the difference of rewarming time,detention time and kinds of complications (P<0.01).Conclusions:Intensifying temperature intervention nursing on senile patients during anesthesia recovery period can shorten detention time in PACU and reduce the correlated complications from hypothermia.
