简要总结
This is a phase I descriptive pilot study to determine the feasibility of using the Heat Retention Head Wrap on infants during the re-warming period following cardio-pulmonary bypass.
详细描述
According to the World Health Organization a body temperature of 36-36.5 degrees Celsius is mild hypothermia, 32-36 degrees Celsius is moderate hypothermia, and < 32 degrees Celsius is severe hypothermia.1 Hypothermia can be a major postoperative problem for infants undergoing cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. During CPB, patients are cooled to decrease metabolism and protect myocardium and brain. When the repair is completed, the patient is re-warmed as the temperature of blood in the bypass pump is gradually increased. However, after separation from the CBP pump, infants consistently experience a temperature drop of 2 to 5 degrees Celsius.
With head cooling heat dissipates more quickly than with any other body surface. As much as 60% of an infant's body heat can dissipate through an uncovered head, thus leaving patients at high risk for complications associated with hypothermia. The amount of heat lost to the environment by newborn infants has a great impact on mortality rates, growth, and energy maintenance. Major adverse effects from inadvertent hypothermia include myocardial ischemia, impaired coagulation, prolonged healing, surgical wound infections, and decreased postoperative comfort.
Nursing participation in the re-warming of patients during CPB surgery is a core intervention. According to recommendations for perioperative registered nurses the patient should be at or returning to normothermia at the conclusion of the immediate postoperative period. Current standards of care for re-warming after CPB do not include any particular type of head covering. Recently, a new head covering made of biaxial-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (boPET), called the Heat Retention Head Wrap, has been designed for use with infants to facilitate warming during the postoperative period (that begins during the re-warming phase of CBP). The purpose of this study will be to determine the feasibility of using the Heat Retention Head Wrap on infants during the re-warming period following CPB.
Specific Aims
- To describe the feasibility of placing a Heat Retention Head Wrap on the infant's head from the time the re-warming process begins to the time baby arrives in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) after transfer from the operating room.
- To characterize the temperature progression from (1) the onset of re-warming, (2) removal of bypass cannulas, to (3) removal of the rectal temperature probe immediately before transfer from the OR to the CICU, and (4) upon arrival to the CICU.
- To identify and describe adverse events observed with use of the Heat Retention Head Wrap.

Head Wrap Feasibility
时间窗: <12 hours
To describe the feasibility of placing a Thermoregulation Head Wrap on the infant's head from the time the re-warming process begins to the time baby arrives in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) after transfer from the operating room. Likert scale items assessing feasibility of the head wrap will be completed by clinicians upon patient admission to CICU.
次要结局
