Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

621
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...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive condition impacting aging men's quality of life.
  • Existing BPH treatments may have limitations in efficacy or side effect profiles.
  • Need for effective, minimally invasive BPH management options is significant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Optilume BPH Catheter System for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • To describe the mechanism of action combining balloon dilation and localized paclitaxel delivery.
  • To review the technique for deploying the Optilume BPH system in an office setting.

Main Methods:

  • The Optilume BPH Catheter System utilizes prostatic dilation via balloon angioplasty.
  • A localized transfer of paclitaxel is administered to maintain long-term lumen patency.
  • Deployment is performed using standard rigid cystoscopy without general anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Prospective data suggest favorable functional outcomes for patients treated with Optilume BPH.
  • Favorable sexual patient outcomes have also been indicated in preliminary data.
  • The system allows for office-based procedures, enhancing patient accessibility.

Conclusions:

  • The Optilume BPH Catheter System presents a novel approach to managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • The combination therapy aims to improve long-term treatment durability and patient satisfaction.
  • Further familiarization with the device and its deployment technique is recommended for urologists.
