Objective: To explore the preventive effect of the preheat replacement solution in the incubator combined with the inflatable thermometer on the hypothermia in the continuous blood purification of elderly patients. Methods: From January 2021 to December 2022, 80 elderly patients with continuous blood purification were divided into two groups by drawing lots. The control group was given routine nursing care, and the experimental group was given a thermostat to preheat the replacement fluid and a gas-filled thermometer. The quality of life, satisfaction and incidence of hypothermia were compared between the two groups before and after nursing. Results: The quality of life of the two groups before and after nursing was significantly higher than that of the control group (P>0.05). The satisfaction of the experimental group was 40 (100.00) higher than that of the control group 32 (80.00) (P<0.05). The incidence of hypothermia in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Hypothermia occurred in 1 case (2.5%) in the experimental group, while hypothermia occurred in 8 cases (20.0%) in the control group. Conclusion: It is effective to implement the replacement fluid pre-heated by the thermostat combined with the inflatable thermometer in the elderly patients with continuous blood purification, which can effectively prevent hypothermia and improve the quality of life of the patients, and is worthy of promotion.
