Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal01:27

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal

7.0K
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

704
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

870
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...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

706
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...

Area of Science:

  • Telehealth and Digital Health
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Assessing cervical rotation remotely presents significant challenges in telehealth settings.
  • The need for reliable virtual measurement tools is crucial for effective remote patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the proof-of-concept for measuring cervical rotation virtually during telehealth consultations.
  • To validate a novel, device-free method for quantifying cervical range of motion remotely.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed neck rotations from 0 to 80 degrees in 10-degree increments via a video conferencing platform.
  • Cervical rotation was calculated by analyzing changes in the inter-pupillary distance from screenshots.
  • Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Bland-Altman analysis for agreement.

Main Results:

  • Mean cervical rotation measurements showed high consistency across increments, with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.99.
  • Bland-Altman analysis indicated that 91.7% of measurements fell within the 95% confidence interval, demonstrating good agreement.
  • The method proved reliable for quantifying cervical range of motion without specialized equipment.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual measurement of cervical rotation is achievable by analyzing the distance between a patient's eyes.
  • This technique offers a practical, accessible solution for telehealth, requiring no additional hardware.
  • The findings support the integration of this method into remote physical therapy and clinical assessments.
