Fever notions of the misinformed: a quality improvement project
Abstract:
Tracking temperatures graphically, recognizing their normal quotidian variations, and acknowledging that fever may be a beneficial physiological response to infection, have been lost in modern hospital care. Further, injudicious use of antibiotics for "low-grade fever" contributes to the multiple drug resistant organism and Clostridium difficile epidemics. This essay discusses these issues and proposes changing common misperceptions of fever as a quality improvement project.
