Axillary temperature differences in hemiplegia

G Mulley

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    In hemiplegic patients, the unaffected arm consistently shows higher axillary temperatures. Always measure temperature in the normal arm for accurate readings in hemiplegia.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Thermometry

    Background:

    • Hemiplegia, a condition affecting half the body, can influence physiological measurements.
    • Accurate temperature monitoring is crucial for patient assessment and care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate axillary temperature differences in hemiplegic patients.
    • To determine the optimal arm for axillary temperature measurement in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of axillary temperatures in 30 hemiplegic patients.
    • Measurements were taken from both affected and unaffected axillae.

    Main Results:

    • The unaffected axilla was warmer by at least 0.2°C in 25 patients.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 14 patients showed a difference of ≥0.5°C, and 4 had a difference of ≥1°C.

    • Conclusions:

    • Axillary temperature is typically higher in the unaffected arm of hemiplegic individuals.
    • Recommendations for accurate temperature measurement in hemiplegic patients.
