Abstract:
Objective To retrieve,evaluate and summarize the evidence on prevention and management of hypothermia in war trauma patients at high altitudes so as to provide data for related prevention and management.Methods Clinical decisions,practices recommended,summaries of evidence,guidelines,expert consensus,systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials concerning the prevention and management of hypothermia in patients with war trauma at high altitudes that were published between the inception and February 2024 were retrieved from related websites and Chinese and English databases.Results A total of fifteen articles were included,including 4 guidelines,1 clinical decision,3 summaries of evidence,1 recommended practice,2 systematic reviews,and 4 randomized controlled trials.Finally,29 pieces of evidence were made available,involving 6 themes:hypothermia assessment,risk factors,rewarming processes,rewarming methods,body temperature monitoring,and considerations.Conclusion This study has summed up the evidence on hypothermia management in patients with war trauma at high altitudes.It is recommended that nurses take into consideration the actual conditions and clinical scenarios and formulate personalized rewarming plans based on the results of assessment of patients when using evidence.
