Influence of comprehensive warming measureson body temperature and coagulation function in patients with caesarean section

  Objective  To explore the effect of comprehensive warming measures on body temperature and coagulation function in patients with cesarean section.

  Methods  Totally 80 patients with cesarean section were randomly divided into study group (comprehensive warming measures) and control group (routine warming measures), with 40 cases in each group. The prognosis (body temperature, chills, coagulation function and hemoglobin changes) of the two groups were compared.

  Results  The incidence rates of hypothermia and chills in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with the study group, thrombin time (TT) in the control group was significantly longer, and fibrinogen (Fib) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) between the two groups (P>0.05).

  Conclusion  Comprehensive warming measures can reduce the incidence rate of chills after cesarean section.
