Summary

This study aims to determine effect of body temperature changes during total knee arthroplasty surgery on early postoperative pressure sore formation.

Detailed description

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypothermia for a prolonged period increases the risk of hospital-acquired pressure sores. PURPOSE: This study aims to determine effect of body temperature changes during total knee arthroplasty surgery on early postoperative pressure sore formation. METHODS: This experimental study was performed with experimental-control group (N=122) patients. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Body and Ambient Temperature Record Form", "Braden Risk Assessment Scale". Experimental group participants were covered with a wool blanket, and control group was given standard care.
