Objective To choose the best available evidence regarding patient warming in enhanced recovery after surgery （ERAS） program and apply in liver cancer surgery, thus to prevent hypothermia and promote recovery. Methods Following the JBI model of evidencebased healthcare, we retrieved 12 guidelines, systematic reviews and expert consensus regarding patient warming strategies for the management and/or prevention of hypothermia within the perioperative environment, then summarized best evidence from these literature and developed 8 audit indicators. The baseline audit was conducted on 47 patients and 7 nurses to identify barriers of patient warming within the perioperative environment, then improvement measures were made and implemented in 47 patients. Reaudit was also conducted to compare the implementation rates of audit indicators, body temperature of patients during surgery, and incidence rates of hypothermia and chills. Results The implementation rates of 7 audit indicators were significantly higher in reaudit compared with baseline audit (P<0.01 for all). Body temperature of patients during surgery was significantly higher in reaudit, whereas incidence of hypothermia was decreased from 85.1% in baseline audit to 27.7% in reaudit (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Application of evidencebased warming methods in ERAS program for liver cancer patients can effectively maintain body temperature of patients in surgery, thus to prevent hypothermia and promote recovery of patients.
