Background: Spinal anesthesia causes paresthesia to analgesia, paresis to paralysis, and vasodilation of blood vessels in the blocked area. The delayed post-anesthesia recovery impacts anxiety and depression, requiring longer treatment in the recovery room. The assessment criteria used for spinal anesthesia patients transferred from the post-anesthesia care unit room are Bromage scores ? 2. Femoral warm compress and Passive ROM can improve blood circulation, so the metabolic process of spinal anesthesia will increase. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of femoral warm compress and passive ROM to the time of achieving Bromage score 2 in post-cesarean


section at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital. Research Methods: This type of research was quasi-experimental and used Pre Test Post Test Two Group Design. This research was conducted in 7 February-18 March 2020. The population of this study was patients undergoing cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Sample of this research 40 respondents who were divided into groups of femoral warm compress and Passive ROM. Data analysis was done with Mann-Whitney. Results: The time of achieving Bromage score 2 in the femoral warm compress group was mostly 45-60 minutes, and the passive ROM group was mostly 45 minutes. Mann-Whitney test results obtained p-value = 0.671 (p value> 0.05).


Conclusion: Femoral warm compress and passive ROM have the same effect on the time of achieving Bromage score 2.
