Abstract
- Introduction. Measurement of body temperature in an intensive care unit is a standard procedure that provides quick insight into the patient’s condition and possible changes in that condition. The measurement is carried out at different parts of the body and with the help of different thermometers. Patients in intensive care units are hemodynamically unstable, subjected to various invasive methods, and temperature indicates possible changes in their condition. Aim. The aim of this research was to determine if there are differences between the body temperature values measured in the axilla, on the tympanic membrane and using the infrared sensor thermometer on the patient’s forehead with regard to the age, gender and the diagnosis of the patient. Methods. The research was carried out in the Intensive Care Unit of the Clinic for lung diseases Jordanovac, in the period from January 2nd to July 2nd 2017. Author of the research did the measurements by herself during her work shifts. Research included 100 patients. Methods that were used were descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency, arithmetic mean, median and mod) and measures of variability (standard deviation, minimum and maximum). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also conducted. Results. A statistically significant difference was determined in the measured temperature values using the infrared sensor thermometer on the patients’ forehead which were higher than the axillary and tympanic temperatures in male patients, patients younger than 70 years and in patients with COPD. Conclusion. It is important to choose the adequate method of body temperature measurement, taking into account the peculiarities and the clinical condition of the patient, and the advantages and disadvantages of each measurement procedure. It is necessary to combine or repeat measurements in order to be completely sure of the obtained values. In patients in pulmonary intensive care units taking axillary temperature is recommended.<br />Uvod. Mjerenje tjelesne temperature u bolesnika u jedinici intenzivne skrbi standardni je postupak koji daje brzi uvid u stanje bolesnika i u eventualne promjene stanja. Mjerenje se provodi na različitim mjestima i uz pomoć različitih toplomjera. Bolesnici u jedinicama intenzivne skrbi hemodinamički su nestabilni, podvrgnuti raznim invazivnim metodama te tjelesna temperatura pokazuje moguće promjene u stanju bolesnika. Cilj. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoje li razlike u izmjerenim vrijednostima tjelesne temperature ovisno o načinu mjerenja, i to u vrijednostima izmjerenima aksilarno, na membrani timpani i infracrvenim toplomjerom na čelu bolesnika ovisno o dobi, spolu i dijagnozi bolesnika. Ispitanici i metode. Istraživanje je provedeno na odjelu intenzivne skrbi Klinike za plućne bolesti Jordanovac u razdoblju od 2. siječnja do 2. srpnja 2017. Autorica istraživanja samostalno je mjerila tjelesnu temperaturu svim ispitanicima u svojoj smjeni. U istraživanje je uključeno sto bolesnika. Primijenjena je deskriptivna statistika (mjere centralne tendencije (aritmetička sredina, medijan, mod) i mjere varijabiliteta (standardna devijacija, minimum i maksimum), a rađena je i jednosmjerna analiza varijance (ANOVA) na ponovljenim mjerenjima (One-way Repeated Measures ANOVA). Rezultati. Utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika u izmjerenim vrijednostima tjelesne temperature između vrijednosti dobivenih infracrvenim toplomjerom na čelu bolesnika, koje su bile više u odnosu na izmjerene aksilarno i na membrani timpani kod bolesnika muškog spola, bolesnika mlađih od 71 godinu i kod bolesnika oboljelih od KOPB-a. Zaključak. Važno je odabrati odgovarajući način mjerenja tjelesne temperature uzimajući u obzir osobitosti i kliničko stanje pacijenta te prednosti i nedostatke pojedinog postupka mjerenja. Često je potrebno kombinirati ili ponavljati postupke mjerenja kao bismo bili u potpunosti sigurni u dobivenu vrijednost. Kod bolesnika u pulmološkim jedinicama intenzivnog liječenja preporučili bismo aksilarno mjerenje tjelesne temperature.
