Özet
This study designed to assess the effects of peripheral cold application (PCA) on core body temperature and haemodynamic parameters in febrile patients. This study was an experimental, repeated-measures performed in the neurosurgical intensive-care unit. The research sample included all patients with fever in postoperative period. PCA was performed for 20min. During fever, systolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and arterial oxygen saturation (O(2)Sat) decreased by 5.07 +/- 7.89mm Hg, 0.191 +/- 6.00mm Hg and 0.742%+/- 0.97%, respectively, whereas the pulse rate and diastolic blood pressure increased by 8.528 +/- 4.42 beats/ min and 1.842 +/- 6.9mmHg, respectively. Immediately after PCA, core body temperature and pulse rate decreased by 0.3 degrees C, 3.3 beats/min, respectively, whereas systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure and O(2)Sat increased by, 1.40mm Hg, 1.87mm Hg, 0.98mmHg and 0.27%, respectively. Thirty minutes after the end of PCA, core body temperature, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure and pulse rate decreased by 0.57 degrees C, 0.34mm Hg, 0.60mm Hg and 4.5 beats/min, respectively, whereas systolic blood pressure and O(2)Sat increased by 0.98mm Hg and 0.04%, respectively. The present results showed that PCA increases systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure and O(2)Sat, and decreases core body temperature and pulse rate.
