Application value of the hypothermia risk grading intervention in the perioperative period of patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy

ObjectiveTo explore the application effects of hypothermia risk grading intervention in perioperative period of patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

MethodsSeventy-six patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy were randomly divided into the observation group and control group(38 in cases each group).The hypothermia risk grading intervention program was given in the observation group for nursing, while the routine nursing was given in the control group.The temperature and incidence rate of shivering in two groups were observed before operation, at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min during operation and after operation.

ResultsThere was no statistical significance in the body temperature between two groups before operation and at 30 min during operation(P>0.05).The body temperature in observation group was higher than that in control group at 60, 90 and 120 min during operation and after operation(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The incidence rate of postoperative shivering in observation group was 7.89%(3/38), which was lower than that in control group(26.32%)(10/38)(P < 0.05).

ConclusionsThe application of hypothermia risk grading intervention in the perioperative period of patients treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy can early predict the high-risk group with intraoperative hypothermia, and the thermal insulation measures can reduce the occurrence of postoperative hypothermia.
