The Effectiveness of Giving Warm Blankets Against the Incidence of Shivering in Sectio Caesarea Patients with Spinal Anesthesia

Abstract

SC action with spinal anesthesia who experienced shivering during surgery and before spinal anesthesia as much as 19.67% experienced shivering during postoperative in the postoperative recovery room. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of giving warm blankets to the incidence of shivering in spinal cesarean sectio patients. The respondents in this study were patients who underwent SC surgery with spinal anesthesia at RS X in September 2023-February 2024 as many as 60 respondents with a control group of 30 respondents and intervention of 30 respondents. This research is a type of Quasy Experiment, two group pre and post-test design with dependent and independent t test  analysis tests.The results of the study found that most of the ages were 25-35 years with a maternal weight of <60-80kg. The degree of shivering was pre-test 1: 1st degree (53.3%), 1st minute post-test was 0 degrees (50.0%) and 45th minute post-test 0 degree 0 increased (86.7%). There was a difference in the incidence of chills before and after the use of warm blankets in the intervention group (pvalue: 0.000) with t values: 6,924 Aand the effectiveness of giving warm blankets to reduce chills in patients with spinal anesthesia during intraoperative and postoperative while in the recovery room at RS X Bekasi on Pre-post intervention Pvalue:0.000. The need to provide education related to environmental temperature conditions in the operating room, side effects of spinal anesthesia and nurse handling of the incidence of shivering in post-SC patients with spinal anesthesia and facilitate warmer machine heating devices for patients in the operating room, especially patients with SC surgery with spinal anesthesia.
