Filter by:Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of warmed intravenous fluids (WIVF) on the core body temperature and the patients' thermal comforts during the postoperative period in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Design: This was a prospective, randomized controlled experimental study. Methods: A total of 105 male patients undergoing TURP surgery and bladder irrigation were randomized to one of either room temperature (n=51) or warmed intravenous fluids (n=54) groups in postanesthesia care unit. The fluids in the experimental group were warmed until the body temperature was reached 36.0°C.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if the Infrared Cameras, Inc (ICI) FMX 400 infrared (IR) Class 1 infrared thermal camera (IRT) system is comparable to oral, forehead, and ear thermometers for determining human body temperature.
In this study, the "Curve of Intraoperative Body Temperature Change in Patients with VATS Surgery" was taken as the main research content to retrospectively analyze the intraoperative body temperature and its change rules of patients who met the research conditions, and draw a trend curve, namely, the curve of body temperature change.Taking "time" as the independent variable and "body temperature" as the dependent variable, the correlation between the two was statistically analyzed.Through the development of the body temperature change curve, we can further understand the phenomenon that the body temperature of patients undergoing VATS surgery changes with the progress of surgery, and longitudinal understand the change trend and the general rule of the body temperature change.The results can provide a basis for clinical development of scientific preoperative evaluation plan, hypothermia prevention strategy and intraoperative intervention plan.
Based on client needs and technological requirements, a wearable sensor device was designed and developed using principles of 'social innovation' design. The device underwent multiple iterations in product design and engineering based on user-feedback and then following pre-clinical testing, a techno-feasibility study and clinical trial were undertaken in a tertiary-care, teaching hospital in Bangalore, India. Clinical trial phases I and IIa {studies/pilot studies designed to demonstrate clinical efficacy or biological activity ('proof of concept' studies)} for evaluation of safety and efficacy were undertaken in the following sequence: first with healthy adult volunteers; then healthy mothers; healthy babies; stable babies in the Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and then a baby with morbidities. Time-stamped skin temperatures obtained at 5-minute intervals over a 1-hour period from the device secured on upper arms of mothers and abdomen of neonates were compared against readings from thermometers used routinely in clinical practice, radiant warmer and multimodal sensor
The investigators will propose a randomized cross-over trial using a uniform and strongly balanced 4-period design in which will include four operations for each surgeon. Surgeons will be randomized to 1 of 4 sequences: ABBA, BAAB, AABB or BBAA. The design is "uniform" in that each treatment appears the same number of times within each sequence (uniform within sequence) and if each treatment appears the same number of times within each period (uniform within each period). It is strongly balanced with respect to first-order carryover effects because each treatment precedes every other treatment, including itself, the same number of times
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of auricle position on body temperature measurements made with tympanic membrane thermometer in adult patients. Methods: The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and a post-test. A total of 143 patients who fit the inclusion criteria of the study were included in the sample. The research carried out between 1 November - 31 December 2016 in the emergency department. Body temperature measurements were carried out on the patients in the study firstly by not changing the position of the auricle and then repeated after a minute, this time by changing the position of the auricle. Results: The difference between the measurement values found in two different positions was 0.31 0C, and the Bland Altman plot showed that the differences were distributed systematically around the value 0.31. The difference between the lengths of measurements performed on two separate positions was detected to be 1.08 second. During body temperature measurements performed through giving position to auricle, 59.2 % of the patients never felt discomfort. Conclusions: It was found in the comparison of two positions that there was a significant difference between the tympanic membrane thermometer measurements made by positioning the auricle and those without positioning.
Observational study to compare core temperatures obtained by 6 methods in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
This study compares three medical cooling devices for effectiveness of cooling the core of non-shivering subjects. This relates to common protocols to cool patients experiencing myocardial infarctions or stokes.
An increasing number of children undergo Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In MRI, radio waves and magnetism are used to form images of the body's interior, to diagnose and monitoring diseases in children. Many children are sedated to be able to collaborate with the MRI procedure. Sedation and general anesthesia cause the child to some extent to lose the ability to regulate his or her own bodytemperature. MRI rooms are most often cold due to the function of the magnet, leading to a risk of hypothermia in young children. Conversely, the MRI scanner generates radio frequencies that are absorbed by the body and converted to heat, which especially in small children due to their large surface area can potentially result in an increase in bodytemperature. In this study we therefore want to investigate changes in bodytemperature in children who are undergoing MRI- scanning within the Neuroanesthesiology Clinic. Furthermore, we want to define possible risk factors for possible temperature changes. Our hypothesis: Children undergoing MRI scanning increase in bodytemperature.
Body temperature is one of the markers of biological rhythms. The precise determination of the functioning of the biological clock for an individual is essential to understanding his physiological state at a given time. This condition is dependent on the "timing" of its central clock on the time scale (chronotype). The provision of a simple-to-use (F2D cuff), non-invasive and time-dependable temperature tool and the creation of appropriate algorithms would allow access to the operation of the central clock and open up many therapeutic applications.
