Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between postoperative sore throat and perioperative hypothermia in patients undergoing general anesthesia, and to provide clinical guidance for nursing interventions during resuscitation.Methods: General anesthesia patients who underwent elective surgery in a tertiary A hospital in Guangzhou City from 2024-1-1 to 2024-5-30 were selected as the study subjects, and 271 cases were collected.General data of patients were collected 1 d before surgery and patients were evaluated for preoperative sore throat, perioperative hypothermia data were collected by intraoperative and postoperative temperature monitoring, and after extubation, the occurrence of postoperative sore throat in general anesthesia patients was evaluated by using a visual analog scale of faces in the anesthesia recovery room, and according to the different symptoms, they were classified into sore throat group and non-sore throat group.Results: A total of 112 cases (41.33%) of postoperative sore throat occurred in general anesthesia patients.Among them, 37 cases (33.04%) of non-perioperative hypothermic patients experienced postoperative sore throat, while 75 cases (66.96%) of perioperative hypothermic patients experienced postoperative sore throat.The incidence of postoperative sore throat in patients with perioperative hypothermia was significantly higher than that in patients with nonperioperative hypothermia.Conclusion: Patients with perioperative hypothermia had a higher risk of postoperative sore throat, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).Nursing staff in the recovery room need to target intraoperative hypothermia monitoring and prevention, maintain perioperative temperature stability, effectively reduce the risk of postoperative sore throats in patients under general anesthesia, and then improve the postoperative comfort of patients.
