Abstract

Quasi – experimental non randomized control group design was used to assess the effect of warm intravenous fluid administration on management of hypothermia and selected parameters among post operative CABG patients. The study was conducted in CTICU. The experimental samples were administered warm IV fluids whereas control group received routine care.The study results showed that there was a significant difference in the mean recovery time between experimental group and control group (t-value=4.766, df =58, P<0.05) Hence the study concluded that the intervention was effective in reducing the recovery time of resiliance to normothermia among post-operative CABG patients.
