Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the heated-humidified breathing circuit applied on the body temperature, shivering, and thermal comfort of general anesthesia patients. Methods: The participants were patients who received general anesthesia at University Hospital K located in City B, with 25 patients in the experimental group and 25 patients in the control group. The period of this study was from Mar 19 to Apr 26, 2019. The experimental equipment included a heated-humidified breathing circuit, which connects the intubation tube with the anesthesia machine for mechanical ventilation after airway intubation in general anesthesia patients. Results: The body temperature, shivering, and thermal comfort after surgery were significantly different between the two groups (p<.001). However, the body temperature during surgery was slightly different between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion: A heated-humidified breathing circuit may be actively used in a warming method to prevent the hypothermia of general anesthesia patients.
