dc.description.abstractPurpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of forced-air warming blankets in normalizing body temperature in the postoperative period. Design: Randomized controlled trial Methods: The study sample consisted of patients (N = 67) who underwent lung lobectomy in the Thoracic Surgery Service of a university hospital. Forced-air warming blankets were used in the treatment group and 100% cotton blankets were used in the control group. Patients' body temperatures were monitored using a tympanic thermometer until it reached 37 degrees C. Findings: The body temperature of the patients in the treatment group reached 37 degrees C in a shorter time than that of the patients in the control group (52.27 +/- 29.79 min and 139.0 +/- 81.93 min, respectively; P < .001), and that the perception of comfort of the patients in the treatment and control groups increased (P < .001) after warming. Conclusions: We recommend that forced-air warming blankets are used for patients undergoing lung lobectomy in order to reach normal body temperature in a shorter time.
