Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive insulation measures on the intraoperative/postoperative body temperature and postoperative recovery of patients. Methods A total of 60 patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted radical resection of esophageal cancer in Shanghai Chest Hospital from July 2019 to February 2020 were selected as the research objects, and were randomly divided into the comprehensive insulation group (n=30) and the conventional insulation group (n=30). The two groups were compared based on the intraoperative body temperature, postoperative anesthesia recovery time, anesthesia extubation time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications. Results The body temperature of the patients in the comprehensive insulation group was higher than that of the conventional insulation group at 1 h, 2 h and the end of surgery ［t1: (36.1±0.4) ℃ vs (36.7±0.3) ℃, t2: (35.6±0.4) ℃ vs (36.9±0.4) ℃, t3: (35.6±0.3) ℃ vs (37.1±0.3) ℃］. The anesthesia recovery time and anesthesia extubation time in the comprehensive insulation group were shorter than the conventional insulation group［(82.0±20.1) min vs (71.0±12.9) min; (49.9±17.5) min vs (41.2±9.2) min］, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions Comprehensive insulation measures can reduce the incidence of hypothermia in patients with Da Vinci robot-assisted radical esophageal cancer surgery, shorten the recovery time, accelerate postoperative recovery, and play an active role in rapid rehabilitation and surgical treatment of esophageal cancer patients.
