Objective: To research the effect of intraoperative warming on SSI.
Methods: 86 gastric cancer patients were randomly divided into two groups: The experimental group, including 54 patients, taked forced-air warming blanket and warming measures in the procedure of transfusion and rinse solution; the control group, including 32 patients, T interfered with nothing. Record the correlated indexs in the two group operrations and detect the change of IL-8 by using ELISA method.
Results: (I) The core tempertraure at the end of operation: The experimental group (36.5±0.4 ℃) was significantly higher than the control group (35.3±0.3 ℃) (P<0.05). The incidence of SSI: the experimental group (3.8%) was significantly 142 lower than the control group (18.6%) (P=0.02). The temperature and incidence of SSI after operation showed Positive correlation (P=0.001). (II) IL-8 and incidence of SSI concention of IL-8 and the core tempertion after operation showed significant correlation (P<0.001) . The incidence of SSI increased with the decreasing of IL-8.
Conclusions: The combined warming can decrease the incidence of intraoperative low temperature and the incidence of SSI after operation.
