Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of insulation during surgery on the prognosis of hy-potherrnic trauma patients. Methods Trauma patients (80 cases) with injury severity score (ISS) of 16～40 and anal temperature < 36℃,were selected and randomly divided into the insulation group and the control group with 40 cases in each group.Both operations went along under room temperature. The in-sulation group keep anal temperature ≥ 36 ℃,while the control group received no insulation interven-tion.The palinesthesia time,time length of hospital stay,infection of wound and fatality were observed in the two groups. Results The palinesthesia time and time length of hospital stay dramatically shortened,the infection rate of Wound and fatality reduced in the insulation group compared with that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Insulation during surgery can significantly shorten the palinesthesia time and time length of hospital stay,reduce the infection rate of wound and fatality.
