Methods of reducing fever01:22

Methods of reducing fever

901
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.

Increased Body Temperature

4.6K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Types of Fever

Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

735
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:

  • Nursing
  • Evidence-Based Practice
  • Clinical Decision-Making

Background:

  • Evidence-based practice (EBP) is increasingly vital in nursing.
  • The process of converting research evidence into clinical recommendations requires clarity.
  • Children's nurses must understand and communicate the rationale behind clinical decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss methods for nurses to translate research evidence into practice.
  • To introduce the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) framework.
  • To demonstrate the application of the GRADE framework using fever management in children.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of the GRADE Working Group's framework.
  • Application of the GRADE framework to a clinical scenario (fever in children).
  • Focus on the process of evidence translation for nursing practice.

Main Results:

  • The GRADE framework provides a structured approach for evidence appraisal.
  • The framework facilitates the development of clear clinical recommendations.
  • Application to fever management illustrates practical implementation for nurses.

Conclusions:

  • The GRADE framework is a valuable tool for implementing evidence-based practice in nursing.
  • Clear understanding and communication of evidence are essential for children's nurses.
  • Systematic application of frameworks like GRADE enhances the quality of nursing care.
