背景情况:
- 严重的新生儿黄是低收入和中等收入国家 (LMICs) 婴儿死亡率和残疾的重要原因.
- 过阳光光疗法 (FSPT) 是一种可行的治疗方法,但需要精确的温度监测,以防止高温或低温.
- 由于医疗人员和护理人员培训有限,目前的温度监测方法在LMICs中具有挑战性.
研究的目的:
- 为了评估修改后的液晶温度计装置 (LCTD) 条的准确性和可用性,用于测量婴儿温度.
- 评估设备对护理人员和医疗保健提供者的有效性,以监测婴儿体温,特别是用于高温检测.
主要方法:
- 在尼日利亚拉各斯大学教学医院对40名婴儿 (0-6个月) 进行了横截面研究.
- 对比LCTD读数与标准护理数字温度计测量在两个小时的五个时间点.
- 护理人员和研究助理对LCTD脱衣照片进行分析,以确定一致性和准确性.
主要成果:
- 修改后的LCTD显示所有读者 (护理人员和研究人员) 与标准护理温度之间的平均一致性为64%.
- 护理人员的准确率为65%,而研究助理的准确率为63%,研究人员对更高的温度读数略有偏见.
- 方法调整并没有显著改善整体协议率 (63.5%).
结论:
- 修改后的LCTD没有与数字温度计读数进行足够的相关性,以可靠地监测婴儿的温度.
- 需要进一步修改,以提高设备的准确性和可用性,以管理新生儿,特别是在FSPT下.
- 在为资源有限的环境中的护理人员提供可访问和可靠的温度监测工具方面,仍然存在差距.

01:13Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
1.2K
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,...

01:14Temperature Measurement Sites
2.3K
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.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

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.

01:14Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane
675
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

01:27Assessing Body Temperature - Rectal
6.6K
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...
