Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

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 forehead...

Background:

Accurate postmortem interval (PMI) estimation is crucial in forensic medicine but challenging in Saudi Arabia due to extreme climate and limited local data.
Traditional PMI markers (e.g., body cooling, rigor mortis, insect development) are unreliable when applied universally across different climates.
Microenvironmental variations in Saudi Arabia further complicate PMI assessments.
