Maintenance of body temperature at laparoscopic surgery
Abstract:
Reducing the loss of energy by a patient during laparoscopic surgery supports better quality of life. Homo sapiens are homeothermic and are thus only able to effectively tolerate temperature changes ranging from 37+/ -O.5°C. Maintenance of body temperature both intra- and post-operatively is essential. Variations in temperature may bring about changes in enzyme reactions and metabolic processes in the body. Maintenance of body temperature in the central core, including the brain, thoracic and abdominal organs, is most vital.

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...
