- Abstract: Objective To explore the application effect of a thermal insulation blanket combined with a self-heating patch in patients undergoing robotic surgery for thyroid cancer.Methods A total of 130 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent robotic surgery were selected.Using the random sequence method,they were divided into control group[n=65,received conventional thermal insula-tion+a thermal insulation blanket]and observation group[n=65,received conventional thermal in-sulation+a thermal insulation blanket+a self-heating patch].The core body temperature,stress re-sponse before and at the end of surgery,the incidence of intraoperative shivering and hypothermia,as well as the awakening time,rewarming time,stay time in the post-anesthesia care unit(PACU),and thermal comfort were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the observation group had higher core body temperature at 2 hours after anesthesia(T2),4 hours after anesthesia(T3),at the end of surgery(T4),upon entering the PACU(T5),and upon leaving the PACU(T6).During the T1 to T6 period,the control group showed a downward trend in body temper-ature,while the observation group remained relatively stable,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had lower stress levels at the end of surgery,a lower incidence of intraoperative shivering and hypothermia,with statistically signif-icant differences(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had shorter awakening and rewarming time,higher thermal comfort scores,and a shorter stay time in the PACU,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of thermal insu-lation blanket and self-heating patch can improve the intraoperative core body temperature and ther-mal comfort of patients undergoing robotic surgery for thyroid cancer,reduce the incidence of intrao-perative shivering and hypothermia,alleviate stress responses,and shorten the awakening time,re-warming time,and stay time in the PACU.
