Brief Summary

Warm sock application; It has been proven that wearing battery-operated warm socks on patients in the preoperative period strengthens the central thermoregulation system, maintains core body temperature, controls the shivering response, and ensures the subjective thermal comfort of patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Effect of Perioperative Heated Sock Use in Preventing Hypothermia During Total Hip Prosthesis Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

    As a result of the measurement in this study: Body temperature is measured tympanically. Hypothermia is generally classified based on cases where the body temperature falls below 35.0 °C. Hypothermia symptoms may vary as body temperature drops, so hypothermia is divided into three levels according to its severity.Body Temperature: Monitoring body temperature before and after surgery. Specifically, evaluating whether preoperative warm sock application helps maintain body temperature within normal ranges. Target Body Temperature: Assessing whether the targeted body temperature range (e.g., 36-37°C) for preventing hypothermia is achieved.

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Body temperature, pulse, arterial blood pressure, SPO2 will be measured and recorded every fifteen minutes in the control group one hour before the operation. The patients in the control group will not be dressed in warm socks and general preparations will be made. During the operation, the patient's body temperature, pulse, arterial blood pressure, SPO2 values will be monitored every fifteen minutes and the total amount of drainage during the operation will be recorded in the same department. Body temperature, pulse, arterial blood pressure, SPO2 values, tremors, and total drainage in the postoperative care unit will be recorded every fifteen minutes. Body temperature, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, SPO2 values will be measured after transferring to the bed and every fifteen minutes for a total of 180 minutes, chills, shivering states, and 24-hour total drainage amount will be recorded in the same section.

After the approval of the board, warm socks and sensitive scales to be used in my thesis work were provided. Permission was obtained from Samsun Gazi State Hospital, where the research would be conducted. Ethics Committee Approval from Samsun Health Sciences University Samsun Training and Research Hospital and permission from Samsun Health Directorate. Groups were determined by randomization over a pre-calculated sample. It was planned to start the pilot study after randomization and to proceed to the data collection phase of the study by making the necessary corrections after the pilot study. In addition, in this process, the writing of the introduction, general information, materials and methods section of the thesis will begin.
