Pengaruh pemberian warmer blanket terhadap hemodinamik pasien post operasi dengan regional anestesi

Patients who undergo surgery with regional anesthesia may experience hemodynamic impairment. The warmer blanket is a nonpharmacological therapy that can be used to address hemodynamic problems. This study aimed to determine the effect of warmer blanket administration on the hemodynamics of postoperative patients with regional anesthesia in the recovery room of Kanjuruhan Hospital, Malang Regency. The method used was a quasi-experimental design with two groups, pre-test and post-test. The sample consisted of regional anesthesia patients who met the research criteria, with 18 respondents in each group. Hemodynamics, including blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and oxygen saturation (SpO2), were measured using an observation sheet before the intervention and at the first and second 15 minutes after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test showed that the warmer blanket affected systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 (p = 0.000), while the conventional blanket affected systolic blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2. The Mann-Whitney test showed differences between the two groups (p < 0.05). The warmer blanket can be one of the nonpharmacological efforts to overcome hemodynamic changes in postoperative patients, while still considering the patient's condition and collaborating with the medical team.
