Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of perioperative use of heated socks on the prevention of hypothermia and its impact on vital signs in patients undergoing bladder tumor surgery. It is anticipated that the data obtained from the study will provide evidence that the use of perioperative heated socks can help prevent hypothermia and positively influence vital signs in patients undergoing bladder tumor surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bladder cancer accounts for 2-3% of all malignant tumors and constitutes 6-8% of all malignancies in men and 2-3% in women. Globally, it ranks as the seventh most common cancer in men and the seventeenth in women. Bladder cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 350,000 new cases and 150,000 deaths annually. At the time of initial diagnosis, around 75% of patients with bladder tumors are diagnosed with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Of those with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, 20% are cases that have progressed from lower-stage disease. If left untreated, approximately 85% of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer will die from the disease . For invasive bladder tumors, the gold standard treatment is radical cystectomy. Radical cystectomy combined with pelvic lymph node dissection provides the best disease-specific survival in patients with invasive bladder tumors . Following radical cystectomy, the average 10-year disease-free survival rate is approximately 50-66%.

During the surgical process, heat loss may occur due to the evaporation of cold solutions or through perspiration. Additional factors contributing to heat loss include the patient's exposure to the operating room environment without clothing, radiation exposure, and conduction due to contact with cold materials or the stretcher. Furthermore, preoperative hypothermia, fasting, and fluid deprivation; exposure of large body surface areas during surgery; use of volatile solutions for skin preparation; evaporation of cold solutions; perspiration; major open cavity surgical interventions; administration of cold IV fluids; prolonged surgical duration and exposure to anesthesia; intraoperative blood loss; peripheral vasodilation; anesthetic drugs; absence of clothing in the operating room; radiation; contact with cold materials or the stretcher; and impaired normal thermoregulation are all factors that may contribute to hypothermia.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The Effect of Warm Sock Application on Hypothermia

After admission to the urology ward, patients who meet the sample selection criteria will be identified one day prior to the surgical intervention. Eligible patients will be informed about the study by reading the voluntary informed consent form, which includes information about the purpose, content, and methodology of the research. Both verbal and written consent will be obtained from patients who agree to voluntarily participate in the study.

Initially, the Descriptive Characteristics Form will be administered to the patients. One group will be given heated socks, one group will be given regular socks, and one group will not receive any intervention. The effect of these interventions on hypothermia will be examined.
