Brief Summary

There are conflicting results in the literature explaining the relationship between surgical site infection (SSI) and inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH). Although it is thought that the risk of IPH is lower in laparoscopic surgery types due to the short duration of the surgical procedure, these conflicting results raise doubts as to whether there is a relationship between IPH and SSI in laparoscopic surgery patients. A randomized controlled study will be planned in the future to examine the effect of IPH on SSI in patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The study will be conducted in the general surgery clinic and operating room of a university hospital. It will be completed with a total of 100 patients, 50 of whom will be in the case group, and 50 will be in the control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Prevention of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia

    This study aims to evaluate whether inadvertent perioperative hypothermia has an effect on surgical site infection. For this, applications to prevent hypothermia will be applied to the patients in the experimental group

    September 15, 2022- September 15, 2023

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Following surgical site infection

    16 September 16, 2023 - October 25, 2023

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

The population of the study consisted of patients who were being treated in the general surgery clinic of the hospital, who met the sampling criteria, who were to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and who agreed to participate in the study. The sample size of the study was determined by the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program. In the power analysis, when α =0.05, β=0.10, and 1-β =0.90, the sample size was determined as 50 people per group and a total of 100 people.

Other: Prevention hypothermia

Control group

The population of the study consisted of patients who were being treated in the general surgery clinic of the hospital, who met the sampling criteria, who were to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and who agreed to participate in the study. The sample size of the study was determined by the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program. In the power analysis, when α =0.05, β=0.10, and 1-β =0.90, the sample size was determined as 50 people per group and a total of 100 people.

Interventions

Hypothermia was prevented by warming the case group. control group remained stable. As a result, the presence of surgical site infection was followed.
