Purpose : This study aimed to identify the incidence of peripheral cyanosis and the characteristics and clinical results of patients with therapeutic hypothermia after a cardiac arrest. Methods : Data were collected from April to June 2021 via the electrical medical records of 95 patients with therapeutic hypothermia for 72 hours after a cardiac arrest admitted to an acute care unit at a tertiary hospital between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression using SPSS/WIN. Results : The incidence of peripheral cyanosis was 20%. In the peripheral cyanosis group, peripheral vascular disease, fibrinogen, vasopressor, infection, disseminated intravascular coagulation, acute physiology, chronic health evaluation II score on the second hospital day, nursing intervention, and mortality on the seventh hospital day were higher. The level of fibrinogen and use of vasopressors affected the occurrence of peripheral cyanosis. Conclusion : Considering the influencing variables, careful observation is necessary for patients with high fibrinogen levels and vasopressor use. These results provide basic data to recognize the need for nursing intervention for peripheral cyanosis and encourage nurses to deliver them during therapeutic hypothermia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intravenous fluid warming and skin surface warming on peri-operative body temperature and acid base balance of abdominal surgical patients under general anesthesia. Method: Data collection was performed from January 4th, to May 31, 2004. The intravenous fluid warming(IFW) group(30 elderly patients) was warmed through an IV line by an Animec set to $37^{\circ}C$. The skin surface warming(SSW) group(30 elderly patients) was warmed by a circulating-water blanket set to $38^{\circ}C$ under the back and a 60W heating lamp 40 cm above the chest. The warming continued from induction of general anesthesia to two hours after completion of surgery. Collected data was analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA, and Bonferroni methods. Results: SSW was more effective than IFW in preventing hypothermia(p= .043), preventing a decrease of $HCO_3{^-}$(p= .000) and preventing base excess(p= .000) respectively. However, there was no difference in pH between the SSW and IFW(p= .401) groups. Conclusion: We conclude that skin surface warming is more effective in preventing hypothermia, and $HCO_3{^-}$ and base excess during general anesthesia, and returning to normal body temperature after surgery than intravenous fluid warming; however, skin surface warming wasn't able to sustain a normal body temperature in elderly patients undergoing abdominal surgery under general anesthesia.

Purpose: The study was aimed to investigate the effects of warm fluid used during surgery on the patients' hypothermia prophylaxis and recovery after surgery. Methods: This data were collected from Jul. 13 to Nov. 31. 2009 at S hospital in M City. 60 patients who met the selection criteria were recruited in the study and divided into two groups. The warmed fluids were used for 30 patients in the experimental group, and the fluids in room air temperature were used for the others in the control group. Collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS/win 18.0. Results: The body temperatures of the control group were significantly lower during surgery than those of the experimental group (p<.001). Shivering was significantly less occurred in the experimental group than the control group (p=.018). The experimental group used warmed fluids recovered faster than the control group. Conclusion: Warming fluid for the patients with general anesthesia was revealed to be effective in decreasing hypothermia during surgery, reducing shivering, helping recovery from the anesthesia. Further research is warranted to refine and apply this evidence in nursing practice.

Objective : The brain temperature is about $0.4-1^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the other peripheral body area. But most of these results have been obtained in normothermic condition. The objective of this study is to evaluate the temperature difference between the brain and axilla, in patients under hypothermia. Methods : Sixty-three patients(37 women and 26 men) who underwent craniotomy with implantation of the thermal diffusion flowmetry sensor were included in this study. The temperature of the cerebral cortex and axilla was measured every 2 hours, simultaneously. The patient group was divided according to axillary temperature hyperthermia( over $38^{\circ}C$), normothermia($36-38^{\circ}C$) and hypothermia(under $36^{\circ}C$). Total 1671 paired sample data were collected and analyzed. Results : The temperature difference between the cerebral cortex and the axilla was $0.45{\pm}1.04^{\circ}C$ in hyperthermic patients, $0.97{\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$ in normothermic patients and $1.04{\pm}0.81^{\circ}C$ in hypothermic patients. The temperature difference has statistical significance in each group(unpaired t-test, p<0.05). Conclusion : From our study the temperature difference between the brain and the axilla in hypothermic condition increased more than that of normothermic state. And in hyperthermic condition, the temperature difference decreased.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to synthesize the best available evidence for active warming interventions during cesarean section. Methods: A database search was done for randomized controlled trials utilizing active warming interventions. Maternal temperature, shivering and neonatal temperature were evaluated as outcome variables. Data were analyzed using Cochrane Review Manager software Version 5.3. Results: Thirteen studies including 1306 patients were reviewed. The degree of lowering of maternal temperature decreased in the warmed fluids (MD 0.51; p=.004) and warming mattress interventions (MD 0.22; p<.001) compared with control groups. Incidence of shivering was also lower in the active warming group (OR 0.55; p=.003). There was no statistically significant difference in maternal temperature with a forced air warming intervention (MD 0.64; p=.15) or in neonatal temperature (MD 0.12; p=.26). Conclusion: Findings show that with warmed fluids and warming mattresses applied during cesarean sections maternal temperature decline was reduced and also the incidence of shivering declined, but no significant effect was observed for forced air warming interventions. These findings provide a basis for developing a warming guideline for women having a cesarean section and will help to improve the quality of care for cesarean section patients.

배경: 출혈성 쇼크는 허혈 시 발생하는 산소산화물 등에 의해 체내에 여러 가지 염증반응을 일으킴으로써 각 장기의 기능부전을 초래한다. 특히 폐장은 허혈 시 조기에 폐포 세포의 투과성이 증가하여 부종, 염증세포의 침윤 및 출혈 등이 일어나 호흡부전증을 초래한다. 또한 출혈성 쇼크 시 기본적으로 시행하는 수액 요법은 간질의 부종을 일으켜 폐장의 기능을 감소시킬 수 있는 위험 요소이다. 따라서 출혈성 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 폐장의 염증 반응을 줄이고 폐부종을 최소화시키는 노력이 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: $300{\sim}350$ gm 정도의 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 경정맥을 통해 약 3 mL/100 g의 혈액을 제거하여 평균 경동맥압 $35{\sim}40$ mmHg의 출혈성 쇼크 상태(I단계, 60분)를 유도하고 유지한 후, 제거한 혈액을 재주입하고 수액요법을 실시하여 평균 경동맥압을 80 mmHg로 유지하는 소생 상태(II 단계, 60분)를 시행한 후 약 3시간 정도 경과를 관찰(III 단계)하였다. 실험동물은 3군으로 나누어 실험하였으며 I군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II 단계에서 린저액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. II 군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II단계에서 린저액을 이용한 수액요법을 실시하였다. III군은 I단계 시 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 체온을 유지하였고 II 단계에서 5% 알부민액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. 각 군 모두 실험 전, I, II, III 단계 후반에 혈류역학적 인자(심박수, 평균 경동맥압), 동맥혈 가스 분석, 혈청내 포도당과 LDH, I, II단계의 투여 수액양, 기관지-폐포 세척액의 Interleukin(IL)-8을 측정하였고, 조직검사를 통해 염증반응의 정도를 조직학적 점수로 평가하였다. 결과: I군의 4예를 제외한 26예가 III단계까지 생존하였다. 각 군 간의 평균 경동맥압의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 실험 1단계에서의 채혈량은 I군은 $3.2{\pm}0.5$ mL/100 g으로 II, III 군의 $3.9{\pm}0.8$ mL/100 g, $4.1{\pm}0.7$ mL/100 g에 비해 각각 유의하게 적었다(p< 0.05). II 단계에서의 투여 수액량은 I 군 $28.6{\pm}6.0$ mL, II 군 $20.6{\pm}4.0$ mL, III 군 $14.7{\pm}2.7$ mL로 각 군 간에 통계적인 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05). 혈청내 칼륨 농도는 I군에서 II군에 비해 소생술 후 의의 있게 높았으며(p<0.05), 포도당 농도는 II단계의 I군에서 타군과 비교하여 현저히 낮았다(p<0.05). IL-8은 I 군 $1,834{\pm}437$ pg/mL, II 군 $1,006{\pm}532$ pg/mL, III군 $764{\pm}302$ pg/mL로 I 군에서 II 및 III군과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 폐조직의 조직검사를 통해 평가한 염증세포 분포 점수에서 III 군이 $1.6{\pm}0.6$으로 I 군 $2.8{\pm}1.2$에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론: 압력 조절형 출혈성 쇼크 모델에서 시행한 저체온법은 정상체온을 유지하고 있는 군에 비해 쇼크 상태에서의 기초대사량을 줄여줌으로써 허혈에 의한 조직의 직접적인 손상을 억제할 수 있으리라 생각된다. 또한 저체온법은 수액의 사용량을 줄여주고 IL-8등의 싸이토카인 분비를 억제시키며 백혈구의 침윤을 줄여줌으로써 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 회복에 도움을 준다. 그러나 저체온법을 시행한 군에서도 투여하는 수액을 달리함으로써 폐장의 염증변화나 손상이 차이를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 이에 대한 세심한 연구가 있어야 할 것이다.
