Foot bath device

On the day of surgery, patients will receive a foot bath between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Any socks or clothing on both feet will be removed. The feet will be visually and manually examined to determine if they show any signs of illness (pressure ulcers, discoloration, wounds, etc.). The patient will be informed that the foot bath device is disinfected before each use and that water-tight bags will be placed around the device to prevent contact between the foot and the water to facilitate repeated use. The water temperature will be adjusted to 41-42°C using an infrared thermometer (non-contact digital thermometer). Both feet will be placed inside the foot bath device. The patient's feet will remain in the foot bath device for 20 minutes. After the foot bath, the patient's feet will be thoroughly dried with a towel, and the patient will be re-dressed in their existing socks or anti-embolic stockings. Any side effects/adverse reactions, etc., related to the foot bath will be questioned and
