dc.description.abstract | Background: Hip fractures are a common cause of hospitalization and are linked with high
morbidity and mortality rates. It is therefore important to optimize every aspect of their
treatment to minimize complications. The Nurse Anesthetist plays an important role in
preventing complications related to both surgery and anesthesia.
Purpose: The aim of this project is to evaluate the quality of the current procedure for
preoperative prevention of hypothermia in our hospital. We wanted to investigate if this
procedure for preventing hypothermia is as effective as preoperative warming with a forcedair
system in hip fracture patients who undergo surgery with local anesthetic.
Method: The project is conducted as a controlled randomized trial. This trial is still ongoing
at our hospital. Currently 32 patients have been included in the trial. 16 patients have been
randomly selected to both the intervention and control groups. The intervention group
receives active warming with a forced-air warming system. The control group receives
passive warming with a duvet and/or a cotton blanket as described in the current procedure.
The aim is to include 58 patients, 29 in each group. We have analyzed the preliminary results
using comparative and descriptive statistics.
Findings: The preliminary analysis shows no statistical difference in body temperature
between the intervention group and the control group. No incidence of hypothermia has
occurred in the pre- or intraoperative phase.
Conclusions: The trial is still ongoing and no final conclusions can be made yet. At this point
the current procedure at our hospital seems to be as effective as the forced-air warming
system.
