Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery01:19

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

1.5K
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

14.1K
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...

Temperature Measurement Sites

3.9K
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

1.6K
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 - Oral

1.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Critical Care
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Targeted temperature management (TTM) is increasingly vital in emergency and critical care, with significant adoption in Asian clinical practices.
  • Evolving research continuously refines TTM concepts, including updates from 2015 resuscitation guidelines and pediatric applications.
  • The Asian Targeted Temperature Management task panel facilitates experience exchange among diverse Asian healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss the feasibility and effectiveness of TTM in the Asian population.
  • To address key issues in TTM, including optimal therapeutic hypothermia for postcardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) post-2015 guidelines.
  • To explore integrated approaches to PCAS, encompassing hemodynamic monitoring, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Main Methods:

  • Expert panel review and discussion of existing literature and clinical experiences.
  • Focus on specific TTM applications: postcardiac arrest syndrome, neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and pediatric critical care.
  • Consideration of the 2015 international resuscitation guidelines and their adaptation for Asian demographics.

Main Results:

  • Discussion centered on optimal therapeutic hypothermia temperatures and integrated PCAS management strategies.
  • Evaluation of the roles of advanced interventions like PCI and ECMO in conjunction with TTM.
  • Assessment of TTM for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy within the Asian context.

Conclusions:

  • TTM strategies require adaptation and validation for the specific Asian population.
  • Integrated care models combining TTM with hemodynamic monitoring and advanced interventions show promise.
  • Expert consensus and shared experiences can broaden global perspectives on TTM application and effectiveness.
