Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

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...

Summary

Temporal epilepsy can cause asystole (cardiac arrest). Pacemakers helped, but anti-epileptic drugs fully resolved symptoms in two patients.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Cardiology

Background:

Asystole, a form of cardiac arrest, can be a rare complication of neurological conditions.
Temporal epilepsy is a focal epilepsy originating in the temporal lobe of the brain.

Purpose of the Study:

To present two cases where temporal epilepsy led to documented asystole.
To evaluate the efficacy of pacemaker implantation and anti-epileptic drug therapy in managing this condition.

Main Methods:

Case report of two patients with recurrent syncope.
Diagnostic workup including electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography (EEG).
Assessment of treatment outcomes following pacemaker implantation and anti-epileptic drug (AED) initiation.

Main Results:

Keywords:

Both patients experienced documented episodes of asystole temporally related to seizures originating from the temporal lobe.
Pacemaker implantation mitigated complete collapse but did not eliminate near-syncope events.
Subsequent treatment with anti-epileptic drugs resulted in complete resolution of asystolic episodes and symptoms in both individuals.

Conclusions:

Temporal epilepsy is a potential, albeit uncommon, cause of asystole.
A multi-modal treatment approach, including AEDs, is crucial for managing epilepsy-induced cardiac events.
Early diagnosis and targeted anti-epileptic therapy can effectively prevent life-threatening asystole in susceptible patients.
