Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery01:19

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

598
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...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.6K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Introduction To Survival Analysis01:18

Introduction To Survival Analysis

301
Survival analysis is a statistical method used to study time-to-event data, where the "event" might represent outcomes like death, disease relapse, system failure, or recovery. A unique feature of survival data is censoring, which occurs when the event of interest has not been observed for some individuals during the study period. This requires specialized techniques to handle incomplete data effectively.
The primary goal of survival analysis is to estimate survival time—the time...

Temperature Measurement Sites01:14

Temperature Measurement Sites

1.8K
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...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Burn admissions peak in the late afternoon and evening, with no predictable seasonal pattern. Understanding these temporal trends can help optimize burn center staffing and resource allocation.

Area of Science:

  • Burn surgery
  • Trauma research
  • Public health

Background:

  • Limited data exists on temporal patterns of burn admissions.
  • Understanding these patterns can improve resource utilization and clinical staffing in burn centers.
  • Burn admissions may exhibit predictable temporal distributions based on time of day, day of week, and season.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the temporal patterns of burn admissions.
  • To identify peak admission times and potential seasonal trends.
  • To inform staffing and resource allocation strategies for burn centers.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort observational study of burn surgery admissions from July 2016 to March 2021.
  • Collected demographics, burn characteristics, and temporal data for 2213 burn patient encounters.
  • Utilized bivariate frequency analysis and heat-maps to visualize admission patterns by time of day, day of week, and season.

Main Results:

  • Burn admissions showed a progressive increase throughout the day, peaking between 3 PM and midnight.
  • No significant association was found between burn admissions and the day of the week.
  • No predictable annual or seasonal trend in burn admissions was identified.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal variations in burn admissions exist, with a notable peak in the late afternoon and evening.
  • No predictable annual pattern was identified, limiting its use for guiding staffing and resource allocation.
  • Findings differ from trauma admission patterns, which show weekend peaks and spring/summer seasonality.
