전신마취 하의 복강경 질식 자궁적출술 수술시 가온요법 적용의 효과 비교

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of application of heating therapies using heated water circulation pads with those of heated irrigation fluid. Method: Patients were divided into a comparison group of 30 persons, a group of 30 persons to which heated water circulation pads were applied, and a group of 30 persons to which heated irrigation fluid was applied. The body temperature was measured every 15 minutes during operations in the esophagi at locations 1/3 above the lower ends thereof. Result: There was no significant difference in the decrease of body temperature during the operation, while there was a significant difference at the time of termination of anesthesia. There was no significant difference in the rate of occurrence of hypothermia. However, there was a significant difference in the time of arrival at the lowest body temperature. Conclusion: It is concluded that the application of heating therapies to LAVH patients under general anesthesia is desirable. The two heating therapies exhibit almost equivalent effects. Meanwhile, the heating therapy using heated irrigation fluid is advantageous in that the application thereof is easy and the cost of application is inexpensive.
