Purpose: This study was done to identify nursing interventions performed by operating room nurses using the Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS). Method: The data were collected from 88 operating room nurses, from August 1 to October 25, 2002 using the PNDS developed by the Association of Operating Room Nurses and translated into Korean. Nurses working in 2 university hospitals in Gwang-ju and 2 general hospitals in Seoul. Data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Result: There were 15 of 127 nursing interventions which the operating room nurses indicated were important and which they performed at least once a day. Conclusion: The operating room nurses consider interventions to prevent physical injury and patient centered care to be very important, but the performance rate for patient centered care was low. It shows that there is a need in education courses for patient centered care to be more strongly emphasized.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare effects of intravenous fluid warming and forced-air warming on perioperative body temperature, Blood Pressure, Pulse and thermal discomfort after gastrectomy under general anesthesia. Methods: Data collection was performed from October, 2009 to February, 2010. The intravenous fluid warming group (27) was warmed through an IV line by an Animec set to $37^{\circ}C$. The forced-air warming group (27) was warmed by Bair Hugger System. The warming continued from induction of general anesthesia to two hours after completion of surgery. The data was analyzed by t-test, $X^2$, repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS/WIN 17.0. Results: There was a significant difference of body temperature and thermal discomfort between the intravenous fluid warming group and the forced-air warming group. Conclusion: We need to explore the effects combination of the intravenous fluid warming and the forced-air warming, and other warming therapy and the efficiency of modalities with regards to cost benefit is also needed.
