The Influence of The Element Warmer of Intravenous Fluid in Increasing The Body Temperature on Post-Surgical Patients in The Recovery Room Grandmed Hospital

. The Operation procedure has the integrity risks of the body disturbed, and even it can cause a threat to the patient's life. One of the risks is Hypothermia post-surgery. In the GrandMed Hospital, almost all of the patients who had post-surgery experienced hypothermia. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of the element warmer of intravenous fluid in increasing the body temperature post-surgery in Recovery Room at Grandmed Hospital Lubuk Pakam 2018. The research was quantitative research, with research design quasi-experiment and with used approach pre-test and post-test with acontrol group design. The population in this research were all of the post-surgery patients with the sample as many 26 respondences for the intervention group, and 26 respondences for the control group with the sampling technique used purposive sampling. The Intervention group used warm blankets, and element warmer of intravenous fluid and the control group used only warm blankets. Based on the result of Dependent T-test and Independent T-test showed significance level ( p ) = 0,001 or p V lue = 0 001 ≤ 0 05. The result of this rese rch showed there w s n influence giving the element warmer of intravenous fluid to increase hypothermia body temperature on post-surgery patients in Recovery Room. With the use of this tool, patients undergoing surgery receive a supply of fluids that is in accordance with the core temperature and flows throughout the body so that it is effective in increasing the body temperature of the patient's postoperative hypothermia. Giving the element warmer of intravenous fluid can increase body temperature on post-surgery patients in Recovery Room.
