Abstract

O estudo teve como objetivo identificar as medidas adotadas para a prevenção de hipotermia no período intra-operatório. Trata-se de um estudo com delineamento de pesquisa não experimental, tipo descritivo-exploratório, prospectivo. Para tal elaborou-se um instrumento de coleta de dados, o qual foi submetido à validação aparente e de conteúdo. A amostra foi constituída de 70 pacientes. A medida mais empregada na sala de operação foi o método passivo de aquecimento cutâneo como o uso de lençol de algodão (11,4%) e o enfaixamento dos membros inferiores (14,3%). A utilização de um método ativo de aquecimento cutâneo ocorreu uma única vez (1,4%). Os resultados evidenciados demonstraram a necessidade de implementação de intervenções eficazes para a prevenção da hipotermia e o enfermeiro tem papel importante neste contexto, uma vez que a segurança do paciente e a redução de complicações decorrentes do procedimento anestésico cirúrgico são metas do cuidado de enfermagem.

El estudio objetivó identificar las medidas adoptadas para prevención de hipotermia en periodo intraoperatorio. Estudio delineado como no experimental, descriptivo-exploratorio, prospectivo. Se elaboró instrumento de recolección de datos, sometido a validación aparente y de contenido. Muestra constituida por 70 pacientes. La medida más empleada en quirófano fue el método pasivo de calentamiento cutáneo, como uso de sábana de algodón (11,4%) y fajado de miembros inferiores (14,3%). La utilización de un método activo de calentamiento cutáneo sucedió apenas una vez (1,4%). Los resultados evidenciados demostraron la necesidad de implementación de intervenciones eficaces para la prevención de la hipotermia. El enfermero tiene importante papel en este contexto, toda vez que la seguridad del paciente y la reducción de complicaciones derivadas del proceso anestésico quirúrgico son metas del cuidado de enfermería.

The objective of this study was to identify what measures are taken to prevent hypothermia in the intraoperative period. This is a non-experimental, descriptive-exploratory prospective study. To do this, a data collection instrument was developed, which was submitted to appearance and content validations. The sample consisted of 70 patients. The measure that was most commonly used in the operation room was the passive skin heating, such as using cotton sheets (11.4%) and bandaging the patient's lower limbs (14.3%). There was only one occurrence of active skin heating (1.4%). Results show there is a need to implement effective interventions to prevent hypothermia, and nurses play an important role in this context, as patient safety and avoiding complications due to the surgical anesthetic procedure are nursing care goals.
