Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the thermal insulation effect of incubator and infusion thermometer in laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Methods: 75 patients were enrolled and were assigned randomly to three groups: group A used warming blanket, group B used warming blanket and infusion thermometer, group C used warming blanket and incubator. The primary outcome was nasopharyngeal temperature at different time points during the operation.
Results: The nasopharyngeal temperature of the infusion heating group was significantly higher than that of the incubator group 60min at the beginning of surgery(T3):36.10±0.20 vs 35.81±0.20(P<0.001);90min at the beginning of surgery(T4):36.35±0.20 vs 35.85±0.17(P<0.001),and the incubator group was significantly higher than that of the control group 60min at the beginning of surgery(T3):35.81±0.20 vs 35.62±0.18(P<0.001);90min at the beginning of surgery(T4):35.85±0.17 vs 35.60±0.17(P<0.001).The wake-up time of the control group was significantly higher than that of the infusion heating group: 23.88±3.86 vs 20.56±3.80(P=0.004), and the incubator group:23.88±3.86 vs 21.52±4.02(P=0.035).
Conclusion: Warming blanket (38°C) combined infusion thermometer (37°C) provides better perioperative thermal insulation, and in hospitals without infusion thermometer, an incubator can be used as a substitute.
