Effect of early-stage keep warm intervention on improving low temperature risk in children underwent blood purification treatment / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of early-stage keep warm intervention on improving low temperature risk children treated with blood purification (BP). Methods Ninety children were randomized into observation group (46 cases) and control group of (44 cases) from July 2013 to September 2015. Control group were nursed with conventional BP standard operation process, while the observation group were nursed additionally with heat insulation blanket before 30 min of booting machine, and recorded the central body temperature of 0 min,30 min,60 min,90 min,120 min for each 60 min 1 time in the future. Until the end of the blood purification 60 min. Low temperature complications were recorded and judged between the two groups. Results In the observation group, 107 cases of low body temperature occurred during the course of 7 cases of blood purification, occurrence rate of 6.5% (7/107). The control group was 15.8% (16/101). The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.569,P<0.05);In the continuous blood purification group, observation group 10.6% (5/47), The incidence rate of control group was 29.3% (12/41), he difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.876,P<0.05). Conclusions Application of heat insulation blanket at the early-stage may effectively reduce the risk of hypothermia complications in the children treated with blood purification. The continuous blood purification effect is more significant.
