Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

839
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands01:20

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sweat Glands

3.0K
Sweat glands or sudoriferous glands are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are small, coiled tubular structures located in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. Sweat glands are responsible for producing and secreting sweat, a watery fluid that helps regulate body temperature and excrete waste products.
Sweat glands are classified as merocrine glands; that is, the secretions are excreted by exocytosis through a duct without affecting the cells of the gland. There...

Methods of reducing fever

910
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.

Hand hygiene01:23

Hand hygiene

4.8K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses

1.2K
Adrenergic agonists have diverse therapeutic uses across various medical conditions and emergencies.
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

756
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Autonomic Disorders

Background:

  • Axillary hyperhidrosis is a chronic autonomic disorder causing excessive underarm sweating.
  • It leads to social embarrassment and reduced quality of life, often co-occurring with palmoplantar hyperhidrosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss available treatment options for axillary hyperhidrosis.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar.
  • Relevant articles on the diagnosis and treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis were reviewed.

Main Results:

  • Treatment options range from topical and systemic agents to injectables, devices, and surgical interventions.
  • Only physical measures like devices or surgery, which destroy sweat glands, offer potentially permanent results.
  • Most treatments are associated with side effects.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple medical and surgical treatments are available for axillary hyperhidrosis.
  • Patient education is a crucial aspect of managing the condition.
  • An individualized treatment approach is essential for optimal outcomes.
