Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to review whether postoperative infections can be detected earlier by a continuous measurement of body temperature of patients compared to single daily measurements. Within 25 weeks 100 patients, which underwent visceral surgery less than 48h ago, will be included. A patch (Steadytemp ®) will be attached to participants, continuously measuring the body temperature. In addition infection parameters and medication of the participants will be documented.
The vital signs (pulse, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and body temperature) are critical in assessing the severity and prognosis of infections. The devices used today for measuring the vital signs have to be in physical contact with the patients. There is an apparent risk of transferring infections from one patient to the next (or to healthcare professionals). Accurately obtaining vital signs is also important when managing other categories of patients where it may be relevant to obtain some of the vital signs such as pulse and blood pressure. This project aims to evaluate a new camera-based system for contactless measurement of vital signs.
As a randomized study, this study aimed to investigate the effects of classical massage and connective tissue massage on pain, flexibility, disability, quality of life and autonomic responses in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. The primary evaluation parameter of the study is autonomic function and the secondary evaluation parameter is pain. The participants will be treated accompanied with same physiotherapist along four weeks and five days in a week. A six-week follow-up will be performed to see how long the effect of the treatment continues.
The objetive of the study is to evaluate the non-inferiority or the equivalence of the kangaroo care position, in lateral versus traditional one in prone measuring the stability of several parameters in premature infants less than 28 weeks of gestational age during the first 5 days of life.
Previous studies have shown that mortality and morbidity in preterm neonates are correlated with the fall in body temperature on admission. Hypothermia can be decreased by reducing body heat losses to the environment. The investigator research hypothesis is that a new calculation of the air temperature in the incubator would promote the newborn infant weight growth from the period between birth and day 10 of life compared to cutaneous mode. The secondary hypotheses assumes a decrease in the side effects usually observed in both morbidity and mortality. A software is used to calculate the body heat loss (BHL) of each individual preterm infant, and to propose a specific air temperature setting inside the incubator to reduce BHL to zero. This software has been validated in a previous pilot study (Degorre et al. 2015). This study aims to compare the energy costs of providing incubated preterm infants born between 25 and 32 weeks of gestation with homeothermia using either specific individualized air temperature control (ATC) or skin servocontrol (SSC).
This is an observational, cohort-based, single-site, prospective study conducted in accordance with ISO 14155-1:2003 and ISO 14155-1:2011. The primary objectives are to evaluate the accuracy of the device's measurements/readings in comparison to a gold standard or standard of care patient monitor.
Shivering is a physiologic response to early hypothermia in mammals. The definition of shivering is an involuntary, oscillatory muscular activity that augments metabolic heat production. Routinely in post anesthetic care unit (PACU), the core temperature via tympanic membrane is always measured in all patients. Sometimes patients who have low temperature have no shivering symptom in other hand patients who have normal temperature have shivering symptom. This indicates that, only core temperature is not enough for predicting or detecting patients who will have shivering symptom in PACU. In this study, investigators hypothesise that the core-peripheral temperature difference in postoperative period indicates patients who will have shivering symptom. Thus, the aims of this study are to evaluate the relationship between core-peripheral temperature difference and shivering symptom in patients in PACU.
