概括
在停电期间,冷藏药物可能在安全温度范围内比冰箱探测器显示的时间更长. 然而,一旦电力恢复,它们也需要更长的时间才能恢复到安全温度,这会影响冷链管理.
科学领域:
- 药房 药房 药房 药房
- 冷链管理冷链管理
- 医院物流 医院物流
背景情况:
- 对于温度敏感的药物在医院中至关重要.
- 由于停电或故障导致的冰箱故障,可能会损害冷链.
- 在这种情况下,标准的冰箱探针可能不会准确地反映药物温度.
研究的目的:
- 在模拟停电期间调查冰箱内的温度变化.
- 为了比较冰箱探测器与药物模拟探测器的破解和恢复冷链条件的时间.
主要方法:
- 在标准的药物冰箱中模拟停电.
- 使用多个数据记录器:一个固定探头,其他在货架上和模拟的药物容器中.
- 监测时间超过8°C (违规) 和返回低于8°C (恢复).
主要成果:
- 模拟的药物温度比冰箱探测器 (12.5分钟) 需要更长时间才能突破8°C的门 (23-26分钟).
- 与冰箱探针 (17.5分钟) 相比,模拟药物中的温度在恢复电源后 (70.5-89分钟) 返回低于8°C的时间也更长.
结论:
- 冰箱内部的温度因探针位置和药物包装而有所不同.
- 药物可以提供缓冲快速温度外出,但延长恢复时间.
- 需要对不同类型的冰箱以及对药物稳定性的影响进行进一步的研究.

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
730
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
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.

Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal
3.3K
Rectal temperature measurement is considered the most precise method for assessing core body temperature and typically registers higher than oral temperature. For adults, the rectal thermometer should be inserted 1 to 1.5 inches into the rectum to obtain the most accurate reading.
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...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
966
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Temperature Measurement Sites
1.6K
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.
