Objective To explore the application effects of the composite heat preservation measures combined with anesthesia recovery care in patients treated with total paroscopic hysterectomy(TLH).
Methods A total of 100 patients scheduled by TLH under general anesthesia were selected, and divided into the control group(n=50) and observation group(n=50) using a coin toss method. The control group was given the routine nursing care, and the observation group was given the composite heat preservation measures combined with anesthesia recovery care. The perioperative indicators, extubation time, anesthesia recovery time, postanesthesia care unit(PACU) retention time and anesthesia recovery complications in two groups were analyzed. The core temperature of patients before 5 minutes of anesthesia induction(T0), after 30 minutes of anesthesia induction(T1), after 60 minutes of anesthesia induction(T2), at the end of the operation(T3), after 10 minutes of entering PACU(T4) and anesthesia awakes(T5) were compared between two groups.
Results The core body temperature of the observation group at each time point were higher than those of control group(P < 0.01). The extubation time, anesthesia recovery time, and PACU retention time in the observation group were shorter than those in control group(P < 0.01). The incidence rates of delayed awakening, hypothermia, shivering and restlessness in the observation group were lower than those in control group(P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).
Conclusions The application of composite heat preservation measures combined with anesthesia recovery care can help to maintain the perioperative body temperature of TLH patients, promote anesthesia recovery and postoperative recovery, and reduce the occurrence of complications such as hypothermia, chills and restlessness.
