Filter by:Cryotherapy after surgery is widely utilised and has numerous practical applications for post-operative rehabilitation. Previous research has suggested that during cold therapy, the skin temperature of the knee should be reduced to 10-15°C to maximise the therapeutic benefits of cooling while avoiding the risk of cold injuries such as nerve damage and frostbite (Wilke and Weiner, 2003; Bleakley, McDonough and MacAuley, 2004). However, a recent study noted that where cryocompression devices have previously been used to reduce the skin temperature <10°C, no complications relating to the device have been reported, suggesting that the risk to the user at these lower temperatures is minimal (Bellon et al., 2019). The temperature range at which a cryocompression device should be set in order to achieve a skin temperature within the therapeutic range of 10-15°C is unknown. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that the temperature setting of the device does not equal that to which the skin is reduced (Selfe et al., 2009). Therefore, it is not sufficient to assume that the temperature setting of a cryocompression device accurately reflects skin temperature. Modern cryotherapy devices often consist of some sort of cuff that can be wrapped around the knee, with a connecting tube to a central unit that supplies and circulates ice-water to and from the cuff in order to cool the intended body part. Such devices offer differing levels of control over the temperature of the ice-water as it leaves the central unit, but nothing is known about how this correlates to the skin temperatures that are achieved during a cryotherapy treatment. The aim of this study is to determine the ability of five different cryocompression.devices to effectively lower the skin temperature of the treatment area to within the therapeutic range.
The purpose of the project is to estimate the air temperature in the lungs after a change from room temperature (25℃) to an environment with a constant temperature of 88-92℃ in resp. lung-healthy persons and persons with bronchiectasis.
This clinical study evaluates the acute effect of glycerol ingestion on performance (power output), weight, urine specific gravity, biochemical (antioxidants and lactate) and metabolic (indirect calorimetry) markers in international athletes in hot conditions. The investigators hypothesized that acute glycerol ingestion can prevent performance loss (power generated at submaximal intensity) in hot conditions. To justify this hypothesis, the investigators will measure the aforementioned markers, which could establish a cause-effect relationship between acute glycerol intake and decreased performance loss in hot conditions.
The THERMAL study is a pilot study to determine feasibility of using two separate continuous skin temperature monitors during intensive treatment for haematological malignancies. It involves participants wearing both the TempTraq and CORE temperature devices for up to 14 days, and then assessing their feasibility and tolerability with quantitative, semiquantitative and qualitative methods.
Background: Hypothermia would increase the risk of bleeding, infection, cardiac complications and delay recovery. The transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) could not only provide the larger oxygen preserve but also humidified high flow. However, Objectives: We wanted to investigated whether the humidified high flow of THRIVE would affect perioperative body temperature (BT). Patients and methods: We reviewed the medical records of adult patients undergoing non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) have been retrospective reviewed. All patients have received force air warming. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine which factors were associated with BT loss. Expected result: In patients receiving NIVATS under force air warming, the use of THRIVE may provide more efficiently BT preserve, although the patients with oxygen mask could have acceptable BT preservation. The more BT loss is associated with the advanced age and higher BMI level. The anesthetic duration is not associated with the BT loss.
This study aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain, anxiety, and vital signs of oncology patients undergoing port catheter implantation. The study was carried out with 139 participants (69 intervention, 70 control) between September 2019 and January 2020. A patient identification form, state anxiety inventory, a table for vital signs, and a visual analog scale for pain severity were used for the data collection. Data were collected from the patients before, during, and after the implantation. In the intervention group, a virtual reality device, movies, and relaxing music were provided to the patients.

The temperature range at which a device cryocompression device should be set in order to achieve a skin temperature within the therapeutic range of 10-15°C is unknown. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that the temperature of the device does not equal that to which the skin is reduced, plus different devices do not achieve the same reduction in skin temperature despite the ice-water within the knee sleeve being maintained at similar temperatures (Selfe et al., 2009). Therefore, it is not sufficient to assume that the temperature setting of a cryo-compression device reflects the skin temperature achieved. The aim of this study is to determine which temperature of ice-water flowing through a Physiolab S1 cryocompression device is able to reduce skin temperature around the knee to within the previously stated therapeutic range.
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.
A prospective observational study aiming to monitor core temperature via an esophageal probe in out of hospital cardiac arrest during transport and until arrival in hospital. Insertion of an esophageal temperature probe will be done on scene during ongoing resuscitation manoeuvres based on European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2015 (or newer). Environmental temperature influence and hypothermia prevention interventions will be monitored.
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.
