Objective To observe and analyze the intervention effects of comprehensive thermal insulation measures in operating room nursing for cesarean section parturients. Methods A total of 78 cesarean section parturients were enrolled as study subjects, all undergoing surgery from January 2025 to June 2025. The subjects were randomly divided into groups using a random number table, with one group consisting of 39 cases. The control group received routine operating room nursing, while the observation group implemented comprehensive thermal insulation measures. The surgical-related indicators and incidence of chills were compared between the two groups to evaluate the nursing application effects. Results Compared with the control group, the observation group exhibited significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (P<0.05). The postoperative time to first anal flatus in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05), while the duration of surgery showed no significant difference (P>0.05). There were differences in body temperature between the two groups at post-anesthesia, intraoperative, post-fetal delivery, and postoperative stages, with the observation group showing higher temperatures than the control group (P<0.05). Four complications occurred in the observation group, with a complication rate of 10.26%, which was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The observation group also demonstrated higher nursing satisfaction compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the operating room nursing for cesarean section, comprehensive thermal insulation measures for parturients help maintain stable body temperature, reduce blood loss, shorten postoperative recovery time, effectively prevent and lower the risk of complications, and improve nurse-patient relationships. These measures can be promoted in the nursing care of cesarean section surgeries.
