Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of multi-mode comprehensive heat preservation on recovery time, stress response and complications of patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods 130 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy were dividend into the study group and the control group (65 cases in each group) by the random number table method. The control group adopted conventional heat preservation method, and the study group gave multi-mode comprehensive heat preservation method. The recovery time, drainage volume, hospitalization time and complications were compared between these two groups. Results The recovery time and hospitalization time of the study group were significantly shorter than the control group (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in the 24-hour drainage volume between the two groups (P＞0.05). There was no significant difference in ADR, NR and BG levels between these two groups before operation (P>0.05), but the levels of ADR, NR and BG in the two groups after operation were significantly increased, and the levels of ADR, NR and BG in the study group were significantly lower than the control group (P＜0.05). The incidence of shivering, hypothermia and restlessness in the study group (3.08%, 1.54%, 6.15%) was significantly lower than the control group (13.85%, 16.92%, 21.54%) (P＜0.05). Conclusion Multimodal comprehensive thermal insulation could shorten the waking time of patients undergoing radical gastrectomy, and had obvious effect on inhibiting the stress reaction of patients. It could also significantly reduced the incidence of complications such as shivering, hypothermia and infection after operation.
