Summary

The purpose of this studywas to assess as experimental whether if electric blanket together withwoolen blanketwere effective in the postoperative period at patients with TKA. The population of the studywas the TKA patients operated at Kastamonu State Hospital (N=209); the sample with quota sampling was a total of 46 patients, including 23 selected 23 control group. Data collection forms for data collection, tympanic thermometer, saturation meter, sphygmomanometer, woolen blankets and electric blankets were used in research process.The data collected in this study were analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software. To analyze the data; descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, X2, Student's t, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance ANOVA and linear regression analysis were used. According to the results; it was determined that the use of electric blankets together with woolen blankets was an efficient method of warming for TKA patients and unheated woolen blanketsare not sufficient to improve body temperature postoperatively. Studying with large samples and assessing the effectiveness of warmed woolen blankets with determining the number of warmed woolen blanket for enhancing the control of hypothermia is suggested.

Conditions

  • Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

Interventions

DEVICE

electric blanket

After the patients were taken to their own beds after surgery, the researcher covered them with a wool blanket from the top of clavicle to the bottom of their feet, put the sphygmomanometer on the arm without an IV line, positioned the sphygmomanometer so that the instrument panel was on the blanket and measured the patients' blood pressure. Then, the electric blanket was operated at the "warm" level for the experimental group, and it was turned off and unplugged when their body temperature reached 36.0 °C.
