Summary

The research is planned as a descriptive, cross-sectional, randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of using thermal blankets on patients' temperature comfort and shivering levels before open heart surgery.

H1: There is a difference between the effects of using thermal blankets and standard blankets on patients' body temperature in the preoperative period.

H2: The temperature comfort of patients who use thermal blankets in the preoperative period is higher than patients who do not use them.

H3: The temperature perception of patients who use thermal blankets in the preoperative period is higher than patients who do not use them.

H4: Shivering levels of patients who use thermal blankets in the preoperative period are lower than patients who do not use them.

Participants will be asked to cover themselves with a thermal blanket, forced air warming blanket and standard blanket before surgery.

Researchers will compare study 1, study 2 and control groups to evaluate the effect of using thermal blankets on patients' temperature comfort and shivering levels before open heart surgery.

Conditions

  • Hypothermia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Thermal Blanket

The thermal blanket to be used in study group 1 patients is designed to maintain the temperature produced by the users' bodies without getting cold or sweating, and has the feature of maintaining the patients' body temperatures. Produced with multi-layer special protection technology, both outer surfaces of the thermal blanket are covered with soft microfiber fabric with water repellent properties.

BEHAVIORAL

Forced Air Warming Blanket

Forced air warming blanket to be used in study group 2 patients is made of non-woven, soft, light, latex-free material and is designed to transfer heat equally to the entire blanket through controlled diffusion due to its structure that surrounds the patient. It has the feature of maintaining patients' body temperatures throughout the surgery process.
