Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the heated-humidified breathing circuit applied on the body temperature and shivering of general anesthesia patients. Methods: A nonequivalent control group with a non-synchronized design was utilized and 52 participants (experimental group, 26; control group, 26) were recruited from August 1 to December 30, 2017 in at university hospital K located in B city. The experimental equipment included a heated-humidified breathing circuit, which connects the intubation tube with the anesthesia machine for mechanical ventilation after airway intubation in general anesthesia patients. Results: As a result of the study, the experimental group has less body temperature change than the control group (F=25.40, p＜.001). As a result of comparing the shivering, the experimental group averaged 0.039±0.20, which was not statistically significant compared to the control group s average of 0.27±0.83, so it was rejected (t=−1.384, p=.173). Conclusion: A heated-humidified breathing circuit may be actively used in a warming method to prevent the hypothermia of general anesthesia patients.
