The Effect of Perioperative Heated Sock Application on Hypothermia and Vital Signs in Bladder Tumor Surgery

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of perioperative use of heated socks on the prevention of hypothermia and its impact on vital signs in patients undergoing bladder tumor surgery. It is anticipated that the data obtained from the study will provide evidence that the use of perioperative heated socks can help prevent hypothermia and positively influence vital signs in patients undergoing bladder tumor surgery.
