Urinary bladder temperature monitoring: a new index of body core temperature
Abstract:
A new method of core body temperature monitoring is introduced and compared to currently used methods. A close correlation exists between urinary bladder temperatures and each of the techniques studied. The correlation is good when compared to esophageal and rectal temperature and best when compared to pulmonary arterial blood temperature. During rapid rewarming after extracorporeal circulation, the urine temperature consistently increases faster than rectal or esophageal and seemingly is a better measure of blood temperature rather than muscle mass temperature. Urine temperature monitoring is reliable, safe, convenient, and accurate for routine intraoperative and postoperative continuous use in adult patients with urethral catheterization.

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
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 - Rectal
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
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 - Temporal Artery
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...
