Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.2K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Methods of reducing fever

1.6K
The signs and symptoms of fever include hot and dry skin, flushed face, thirst, muscle aches, anorexia, headache, tachycardia, tachypnea, and fatigue. Elevated body temperature is reduced using two methods: pharmacological and nonpharmacological. Proper identification and treatment of the root cause of a fever is of utmost importance.

Hypoxia01:23

Hypoxia

2.4K
Hypoxia is a medical condition characterized by an inadequate oxygen supply to body tissues. It typically manifests as a bluish discoloration of the skin and mucosae, especially in fair-skinned individuals, when hemoglobin (Hb) saturation drops below 75%.
Types of Hypoxia
There are four primary types of hypoxia, each resulting from a different cause:
1. Anemic hypoxia: This type occurs due to insufficient oxygen delivery caused by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or RBCs with abnormal or...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Oxygen Therapy for Respiratory Failure01:16

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Oxygen Therapy for Respiratory Failure

817
Oxygen therapy has emerged as a significant tool in enhancing the quality of life for patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While this therapy has principally been studied on patients with significant hypoxemia, this therapeutic approach helps prevent potential organ damage and can be administered in the comfort of one's home.
Oxygen therapy is vital in increasing and maintaining blood oxygen levels in PAH patients. As a result, it aids in reducing fatigue,...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Therapeutic Hypothermia
  • Clinical Case Study

Background:

  • Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates is a serious condition associated with high mortality and morbidity.
  • Therapeutic hypothermia is a recognized treatment for neonatal HIE, aimed at reducing secondary brain injury.
  • Effective implementation requires specialized equipment and protocols for optimal outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case report detailing the application of therapeutic hypothermia in a neonatal asphyxia patient.
  • The study highlights the challenge of limited access to appropriate cooling devices.
  • Creative adjustments, such as using cool water bags, were employed to achieve target temperatures.

Findings:

  • Successful application of therapeutic hypothermia, despite procedural challenges, led to the patient's survival.
  • The case underscores the importance of adaptive strategies in resource-limited settings.
  • Family-centered care was integral to managing parental distress, anxiety, and guilt.

Implications:

  • Establishes the feasibility of therapeutic hypothermia with modified cooling techniques.
  • Emphasizes the critical role of holistic, family-centered care in neonatal critical cases.
  • Recommends the development of standardized critical care guidelines for neonatal hypothermia therapy to ensure safety and quality of nursing care.
