Abstract
Background: Post operative hypothermia in surgical patients is a commonly observed complication. But the knowledge and skills of the peri operative nurses can help to reduce or prevent the occurrence of post operative hypothermia. Objective: Objective of this study was to find out incidence of post operative hypothermia. Method: a hospital based observentional study was undertaken. The postoperative patients (N=250) that underwent anaesthesia were included. The assessment and body temperature of patient was measured post operatively. Analysis was done using the software SPSS version 26.00. Results: Total 250 post operative patients were included in the study. Among them 185 (74%) patients had developed post operative hypothermia. Mean of age of hypothermia patients were 45.74. Majority of patients 63 (34.1%) had hypothermia patients were illiterate or no education. The majority of subjects 96 (51.9%) had hypothermia they were in rural residence. Conclusion: The occurrence of post operative hypothermia in recovery room at post operative period was high. Total 250 post operative patients were included in the study. Among them 185 (74%) patients had post operative hypothermia. The majority of samples 50% were having age between the 19 to 40 years
