Assessing Body Temperature - Oral01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral

Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...
Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal01:27

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
Follow these steps for rectal temperature assessment:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don clean gloves to prevent cross-infection.
Step 2: Position the patient in a side-lying position to better visualize the rectal...
Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
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...
Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery01:19

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's forehead...

Summary

Exertional heat illness (EHI) screening is crucial for athlete safety. The Heat Illness Index Score (HIIS) was validated by expert consensus, showing promise for identifying at-risk athletes.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Environmental Physiology
  • Injury Prevention

Background:

  • Exertional heat illness (EHI) is a significant cause of athlete mortality.
  • Preparticipation screening can identify risk factors and prevent EHIs.
  • Developing reliable screening tools is essential for athlete safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the content validity of the Heat Illness Index Score (HIIS).
  • To refine a 10-item screening instrument for identifying athletes at risk of EHI.
  • To validate the HIIS during preparticipation examinations.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-round Delphi panel study involving 6 EHI experts.
  • Utilized semistructured interviews and electronic questionnaires for data collection.
  • Established consensus criteria for item revision and final instrument agreement.

Main Results:

  • Initial expert review supported all 10 items, with subsequent revisions.
  • Round 2 saw 16.3% of revisions rejected and 2 items modified.
  • Round 3 achieved 100% expert consensus on the final HIIS instrument.

Conclusions:

  • The expert panel successfully validated the content and structure of the HIIS.
  • The HIIS demonstrates potential as a reliable screening tool for EHI risk.
  • Further research is needed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the HIIS.
