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

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.

Temperature Measurement Sites

4.3K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine

Background:

  • Inadvertent intraoperative hypothermia is a frequent anesthesia-related complication.
  • It elevates the risk of adverse perioperative events, including surgical site infections, increased blood transfusions, and altered coagulation and drug metabolism.
  • Despite available preventive systems, routine use in Polish anesthesia practice is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review factors increasing the risk of intraoperative hypothermia.
  • To present effective tools for perioperative temperature management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of factors contributing to hypothermia.
  • Overview of available technologies for perioperative thermoregulation.

Main Results:

  • Several factors contribute to the risk of intraoperative hypothermia.
  • Effective and accessible tools for managing perioperative temperature exist.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing risk factors and implementing available temperature management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • Increased adoption of dedicated systems can mitigate the risks associated with intraoperative hypothermia in anesthesia.
