Abstract

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the attitudes of anaesthesiologists working in Turkey on perioperative temperature monitoring. Methods: The questionnaire comprised 25 questions. Data were obtained through the completion of the questionnaire by hand or via the web. Results: Two hundred and four questionnaires were evaluated. Most physicians were working in government hospitals. We determined that 26% of physicians often use temperature monitoring and that physicians working in university hospitals monitor temperature significantly more often. The skin/axilla was the most preferred monitoring site; forced-air warming devices were the most common preferred heating systems. New-borns were the most commonly monitored group, and the Turkish Anaesthesiology and Reanimation Society guideline was the most commonly used reference. Physicians working in university or private hospitals were significantly more able to adjust the operating room temperature on demand. Conclusion: We observed that physicians adopt different practices to avoid perioperative hypothermia. Although they are aware of the effects of anaesthesia on hypothermia and the contribution of hypothermia to complications, this awareness was not enough for them to make temperature monitoring a routine practice. To make temperature monitoring a standard practice, we believe that more studies should be conducted and that this issue needs to be more frequently addressed in congresses, anaesthesia conferences and particularly in residency training clinics.

Özet

Amaç: Türkiye genelinde çalışan anesteziyoloji ve reanimasyon uzmanlarının perioperatif sıcaklık monitörizasyonu uygulamalarındaki tutumlarını araştırmaktır Yöntemler: Anket çalışmamız yirmi beş sorudan oluşmaktaydı. Anketlerin elle veya web üzerinden doldurulması ile veriler elde edildi. Bulgular: İkiyüzdört anket değerlendirildi ve katılımcıların çoğu devlet hastanesinde çalışmaktaydı. Hekimlerin %26.0'ı sıcaklık monitörizasyonunu sıklıkla yaptığı ve üniversite hastanelerinde çalışanların istatistiki olarak daha fazla yaptığı belirlendi. Kor sı- caklık değerlerine hekimler tarafından farklı yaklaşımlar olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Monitörizasyon yeri olarak ençok cilt/aksillerin, ısıt- ma yöntemi olarak sıcak hava üflemeli sistemlerin tercih edildiği, enfazla yenidoğan hasta grubunun monitörize edildiği ve enfaz- la kaynak olarak Türk Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Derneği (TARD) kılavuzlarına başvurulduğu tesbit edildi. Üniversite ve özel kurumda çalışan hekimler istatistiki anlamlı olarak oda ısısını isteğe bağlı olarak ayarlayabildiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç: Perioperatif hipotermiyi önlemede farklı uygulamalar yapılmaktadır. Hekimler anestezinin hipotermiye etkisinin ve hi- poterminin komplikasyonlara katkısının farkında olmalarına rağ- men, bu farkındalığın sıcaklık monitörizasyonunu rutin uygulama haline getirmelerine yetmediği görülmektedir. Sıcaklık monitöri- zasyonunun standart haline getirilmesi konu ile ilgili daha fazla çalışma yapılması, asistan eğitimi yapılan kliniklerde daha fazla ol- mak üzere, kongrelerde, anestezi toplantılarında bu konuya daha sık değinilmesi gerektiği kanısındayız
