- Abstract: Objective To determine the effects of heated iodophor disinfection on intraoperative body temperature and bleeding in elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy.Methods A total of 78 elderly patients who underwent unilateral radical mastectomy in Suqian Hospital of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from September 2022 to August 2024 were selected as the study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 39 cases in each group.The control group and the observation group were disinfected with iodophor at temperature of 23℃and heated to 37℃before surgery,respectively.The qualified skin disinfection,incision infection,body temperature,adverse reactions during the recovery period,intraoperative bleeding volume,postoperative drainage bleeding volume,and hemoglobin levels of patients of the two groups were compared.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the qualified rate of skin disinfection or incision infection rate between of patients the two groups(P>0.05).At 30 minutes after disinfection,60 minutes after disinfection,and at the end of surgery,the body temperature of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidences of intraoperative hypothermia,delayed awakening,and shivering reaction of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The intraoperative bleeding volume and postoperative drainage bleeding volume of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The hemoglobin level 3 days after surgery of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the routine use of 23℃iodophor to disinfect the skin of elderly patients undergoing radical mastectomy,the use of iodophor heated to 37℃does not affect the disinfection effect and incision infection,and the incidence of intraoperative hypothermia in patients is lower,which is conducive to reduce the amount of intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of adverse reactions during the recovery period.
