The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of forced-air warming blankets in normalizing body temperature in the postoperative period.
Randomized controlled trial METHODS: The study sample consisted of patients (N = 67) who underwent lung lobectomy in the Thoracic Surgery Service of a university hospital. Forced-air warming blankets were used in the treatment group and 100% cotton blankets were used in the control group. Patients' body temperatures were monitored using a tympanic thermometer until it reached 37°C.
The body temperature of the patients in the treatment group reached 37°C in a shorter time than that of the patients in the control group (52.27 ± 29.79 min and 139.0 ± 81.93 min, respectively; P < .001), and that the perception of comfort of the patients in the treatment and control groups increased (P < .001) after warming.
We recommend that forced-air warming blankets are used for patients undergoing lung lobectomy in order to reach normal body temperature in a shorter time.
本研究旨在确定强制空气加热毯在术后恢复正常体温方面的有效性。
随机对照试验
研究样本包括在一所大学医院胸外科接受肺叶切除术的患者（N=67）。治疗组使用强制空气加热毯，对照组使用 100%棉毯。使用鼓膜温度计监测患者的体温，直到达到 37°C。
治疗组患者的体温达到 37°C 的时间短于对照组（分别为 52.27±29.79 分钟和 139.0±81.93 分钟；P<.001），且治疗组和对照组患者的舒适度感知在加热后均有所增加（P<.001）。
我们建议对接受肺叶切除术的患者使用强制空气加热毯，以便更快地恢复正常体温。
