Targeted temperature control following traumatic brain injury: …
2024年5月20日 · Targeted temperature control (TTC) is a complex intervention that aims to control body or brain temperature to prevent further brain injury and improve neurological outcome . The term TTC may refer to different degrees of temperature control, from fever prevention, maintenance of normothermia to the induction of hypothermia, at different levels ...
Fever in sepsis: is it cool to be hot? - Critical Care
2014年2月13日 · Changes in body temperature are a characteristic feature of sepsis. The study by Kushimoto and colleagues in a recent issue of Critical Care demonstrates that hypothermia is a very important manifestation of infection associated with very high mortality. Combined with recent data suggesting that febrile patients with infections have the lowest mortality risk, the study …
The neurological and cognitive consequences of hyperthermia
2016年7月14日 · An elevated temperature has many aetiologies, both infective and non-infective, and while the fever of sepsis probably confers benefit, there is increasing evidence that the central nervous system is particularly vulnerable to damage from hyperthermia. A single episode of hyperthermia may cause short-term neurological and cognitive dysfunction, which may be …
Fever and hypothermia represent two populations of sepsis …
2021年10月21日 · Environmental temperature has an influence on body temperature reaction in human sepsis patients. The definition of normothermia seems to be mostly dependent on age and site of measurement [ 20 ]. Our interval of 35.6–37.5 °C was chosen based on the elderly patients in our dataset, clinical judgment and the advantage of using 0.5 °C ...
Body temperature correlates with mortality in COVID-19 patients
2020年6月5日 · Fig. 1. Body temperature and mortality in COVID-19 patients. a High body temperature at the initial presentation did not correlate significantly with mortality. Patients with BT ≤ 36 °C had significantly higher mortality compared to normothermia patients. b There was a significant increase in mortality for every 0.5 °C increase in maximum ...
Significance of body temperature in elderly patients with sepsis
2020年6月30日 · Body temperature. Fever. Hypothermia. Elderly patients have a blunted host response, which may influence vital signs and clinical outcomes of sepsis. This study was aimed to investigate whether the associations between the vital signs and mortality are different in elderly and non-elderly patients with sepsis.
Body temperature patterns as a predictor of hospital-acquired …
2013年9月12日 · Introduction Early treatment of sepsis improves survival, but early diagnosis of hospital-acquired sepsis, especially in critically ill patients, is challenging. Evidence suggests that subtle changes in body temperature patterns may be an early indicator of sepsis, but data is limited. The aim of this study was to examine whether abnormal body temperature patterns, as …
Fever or hypothermia following ECMO decannulation: the …
2024年1月4日 · In this retrospective large single center observational study, body temperature during ECMO-weaning was analyzed in 223 consecutive patients from January 2016 to January 2019. 139 (62%) patients were treated on a cardiosurgical intensive care unit and 84 (38%) on a medical intensive care unit. 71 patients (32%) were supported by vv-ECMO, 149 (67%) by va …
The pathophysiological basis and consequences of fever
2016年7月14日 · The normal human temperature is considered to be 37 °C, but may vary by up to 1 °C in healthy individuals [1]. Elevated core temperature is a common finding in intensive care, affecting up to 70 % of patients [2]. Despite the general usage of the terms ‘pyrexia’, ‘fever’, and ‘hyperthermia’, they are not yet universally defined.
Association of body temperature and antipyretic treatments with ...
2012年2月28日 · Introduction Fever is frequently observed in critically ill patients. An independent association of fever with increased mortality has been observed in non-neurological critically ill patients with mixed febrile etiology. The association of fever and antipyretics with mortality, however, may be different between infective and non-infective illness. Methods We designed a …
