Objective To investigate the effect of operating room nursing intervention on improving hypothermia and its complications in patients undergoing general surgical laparoscopic procedures. Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent general surgical laparoscopic procedures in our hospital from January 2023 to December 2024 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group (n=40, conventional nursing intervention) and an observation group (n=40, operating room nursing intervention) using a random number table. The body temperature, surgical-related indicators, incidence of complications, and occurrence of hypothermia were compared between the two groups. Results The body temperature of the observation group at 30 minutes during surgery and at the end of surgery was significantly higher than that of the control group. Additionally, all surgical indicators, the incidence of hypothermia, and the incidence of complications were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of operating room nursing intervention in patients undergoing general surgical laparoscopic procedures can help improve various surgical indicators, reduce the risk of intraoperative hypothermia, and decrease postoperative complications.
