The Effect of Sock Developed With Wearable Technology for TUR Surgery Patients on Hypothermia and Venous Thromboembolism

Venous Thromboembolism Clinical Trial

Official title: The Effect of Sock Developed wıth Wearable Technology for Patıents Undergoıng Transurethral Resectıon Surgery on the Development of Hypothermıa and Venous Thromboembolısm

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the sock to be developed with wearable technology for patients who will undergo TUR surgery on the development of hypothermia and VTE. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo TUR surgery between 01 October 2023 and 01 October 2024. patients will be included in the study. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomised controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form". The hypothermia follow-up form includes "Shivering Level Diagnosis Form" and "Temperature Comfort Perception Scale" The descriptive variables of the patients included in the study will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median (maximum-minimum), percentage and frequency. In data analysis; dependent and independent t test will be used when parametric test preconditions are met. Changes in body temperature measurements obtained after wearing socks to be developed with wearable technology, repeated measurements, analysis of variance (Repeated ANOVA) if parametric, Friedman test if non-parametric, and post-hoc test will be used in intra-group multiple comparison analyses as further analysis. Post hoc power analysis will be performed after the sample size reaches 70.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the sock to be developed with wearable technology for patients who will undergo TUR surgery on the development of hypothermia and VTE. The population of the study will consist of patients who will undergo TUR surgery between 01October 2023 and 01 October 2024. patients will be included in the study. The study was planned as a prospective, two-arm (1:1), randomised controlled, double-blind clinical trial. The data will be collected with the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form". The hypothermia follow-up form includes "Shivering Level Diagnosis Form" and "Temperature Comfort Perception Scale" .Control group: Patients will be fitted with antiembolitic socks in the ward, and the control group will be fitted with the same looking socks developed before the patient is sent to the operating theatre and will be removed one day after the operation. In the study, the same-looking socks will be applied to all patients by the same coordinator. Verbal and written permission will be obtained from the patient/relative before the study is started. The data obtained from the patients will be recorded in the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" before TUR. Study group: In addition to the routine treatment and care practices of the operating theatre, the patients included in the study group will wear antiembolytic socks and a heater sock to be developed with wearable technology. After the patients are fitted with antiembolitic socks in the ward, the socks to be developed with wearable technology will be fitted to the study group before the patient is sent to the operating theatre and will be removed one day after the operation. The socks to be used in the research (socks with the same appearance as the heating socks developed with wearable technology) will be developed by the researchers and a patent application will be made. The socks to be developed with wearable technology in the study will be applied to all patients by the same responsible researcher. Verbal and written consent will be obtained from the patient/relative before the start of the study. The data obtained from the patients will be recorded in the "Descriptive Characteristics Form" and "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" before TUR. The "Hypothermia Monitoring Form" will be filled in when the patients' vital signs are taken into the operating room, after anaesthesia is given, at the 15th, 30th and 60th minutes of the surgical procedure, at the end of the surgical procedure, when they come to the recovery room, and when they are transferred from the recovery room to the ward.The descriptive variables of the patients included in the study will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation and median (maximum-minimum), percentage and frequency. In data analysis; dependent and independent t test will be used when parametric test preconditions are met. Changes in body temperature measurements obtained after wearing socks to be developed with wearable technology, repeated measurements, analysis of variance (Repeated ANOVA) if parametric, Friedman test if non-parametric, and post-hoc test will be used in intra-group multiple comparison analyses as further analysis. Post hoc power analysis will be performed after the sample size reaches 70. ;
