Hypothermia often occurs during Caesarean section surgery due to the effects of anesthesia and room temperature. Therefore, a Blanket Warmer is necessary to increase the patient's body temperature. Objective: To determine the effect of Blanket Warmer use on body temperature increase in post-Caesarean section patients in the Recovery Room of the Central Surgical Installation of Dr. M.M. Dunda Limboto Regional Hospital. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. Purposive sampling was used to select 23 respondents. This design involved two observations: before and after the experiment. Results: This study showed a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant effect, with an average value of 54.62 before and 67.69 after. It can be concluded that the use of a Blanket Warmer has an effect on increasing body temperature in post-Caesarean Section patients. Conclusion: Therefore, the use of a blanket warmer is essential to increase the body temperature of post-Caesarean Section patients who experience hypothermia while in the Recovery Room.
