Abstract

One of the complications that arise after anaesthesia is hypothermia. Induction of general anaesthesia will cause vasodilation. Measures to prevent hypothermia can be done with a non-pharmacological approach called the rewarming method. in this study, namely to determine whether there is an effect of giving warm compresses using hot packs on increasing body temperature in postoperative patients with hypothermia in the Recovery Room (RR) of Prof. Dr. Aloeisaboe Hospital, Gorontalo City. used in this research is quantitative research using this research design is Pre-experimental with a one-group pre-post test design approach, the number of samples in this study is the same as the population of 10 respondents. The results showed that there was an effect of giving warm compresses using hot packs on increasing body temperature in postoperative patients with hypothermia in the Recovery Room (RR) of Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe Hospital Gorontalo City with a P-Velue of 0.000 (α < 0.005). It is hoped that it can add information about giving warm compresses using hot packs to increase body temperature in postoperative patients with hypothermia and participate in providing nursing actions for giving hot packs to patients experiencing postoperative hypothermia in accordance with the SOP.

Abstract

Introduction. Sepsis remains a major global health problem with high incidence and mortality, including in Indonesia. One of the key factors contributing to sepsis-related mortality is the uncontrolled activation of inflammatory and coagulation pathways. C-reactive protein (CRP) serves as a marker of inflammation, while D-dimer reflects coagulation activation. Both biomarkers are commonly elevated in sepsis and are thought to be closely associated. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between CRP and D-dimer levels in sepsis patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe. Methods. This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted in the ICU of RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe from July to November 2025. A total of 48 sepsis patients were included using total sampling based on medical record data from January to December 2024. The relationship between CRP and D-dimer levels was analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. Results. All patients showed elevated CRP levels (100%), and most had increased D-dimer levels (97.9%). Bivariate analysis demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation between CRP and D-dimer levels, with a correlation coefficient of +0.333, indicating a weak to moderate association. Conclusion. There is a significant positive correlation between CRP and D-dimer levels in sepsis patients in the ICU of RSUD Prof. Dr. H. Aloei Saboe. Higher CRP levels tend to be accompanied by increased D-dimer levels, reflecting the interplay between inflammation and coagulation activation in sepsis.
