Abstract:
Objective To explore influence of perioperative protection from hypothermia on surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 1536 patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation in general surgery department of our hos-pital.Patients (764 cases) admitted before July 2006 were set as the control group,while those after July 2006(772 cases) were set as the observation group. The observation group received a series of measures for protection from hypothermia besides of routine perioperative nursing.The control group only adopted routine perioperative nursing.The SSI rate was compared between the two groups. Results The SSI rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group(P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Incidence of periop-erative hypothermia in patients undergoing gastroenteritic operation can increase the SSI rate.Appropriate measures for protection from hypothermia can prevent the incidence of hypothermia as well as SSI.
