The Importance Of Effective Temperature Management In Burns Patients To Avoid Hypothermia
Patients with major burn injuries are prone to hypothermia, potentially resulting in an increase in mortality and length of hospital stay. Burn patients exhibit profound hypermetabolism and lose the ability to thermoregulate, rendering them susceptible to hypothermia.
Delayed Cord Clamping For Improved Health Outcomes
Hypothermia in surgical patients can be the result of a long surgery duration, general anaesthesia and a low temperature in theatre. Hypothermia is a problem that should be prevented in surgical patients, due to the serious issues that it can cause.
The Importance Of Managing Patients’ IV Fluids
Hypothermia in surgical patients can be the result of a long surgery duration, general anaesthesia and a low temperature in theatre. Hypothermia is a problem that should be prevented in surgical patients, due to the serious issues that it can cause.
Efficacy Of External Warming To Reduce Hypothermia In Surgical Patients
Hypothermia in surgical patients can be the result of a long surgery duration, general anaesthesia and a low temperature in theatre. Hypothermia is a problem that should be prevented in surgical patients, due to the serious issues that it can cause.
The Benefits Of Cot-Nursing Compared To Incubator Care For Preterm Infants
The Cochrane report into cot-nursing versus incubator care for preterm infants concludes that cot-nursing using a heated mattress has similar effects to incubator care with regard to temperature control and weight gain.
The Importance Of Continuous Temperature Monitoring
The purpose of temperature monitoring is to detect thermal disturbances and maintain appropriate body temperature during anaesthesia. Hypothermia and hyperthermia, which both lead to poor patient outcomes, can only be detected if a patient’s temperature is being monitored.
Neonatal Resuscitation In All Birth Settings
The NICE guideline - Intrapartum care (NG235) - states that in all birth settings it must be ensured that there are facilities for resuscitation and for transferring the baby to another location if necessary.
