Abstract
The aim was to analyze the effectiveness of hydrophilic and orthopedic cottons, used for heating the lower limbs in patients hospitalized in intensive care. This is a pragmatic pilot single-arm clinical trial, in which control and intervention were performed in the same patient. The sample consisted of 16 patients. When performing the analysis of heating technologies in the different measurement intervals (30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours), none of the technologies showed statistical significance. Although there is no statistical significance of the heating of both technologies in the heating interval of 30 minutes to 6 hours, it was found that, although the averages were below the considered ideal temperature (360C), the temperatures increased with the prolonged time of heating in both technologies. The results of this pilot study show in an incipient way that there is no difference between the two proposed technologies. Furthermore, we note the importance of the time being greater than 6 hours to achieve a satisfactory warm up.
