Body surface infrared thermometry in patients with central venous cateter-related infections
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if body surface temperature close to the central venous catheter insertion area is different when patients develop catheter-related bloodstream infections. METHODS Observational cross-sectional study. Using a non-contact infrared thermometer, 3 consecutive measurements of body surface temperature were collected from 39 patients with central venous catheter on the followi...
متن کامل[Central venous catheters-related infections in patients with parenteral nutrition].
INTRODUCTION Infections related to central venous catheters (CVC) are complications with a high prevalence and possible serious consequences. Administration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is a risk factor, although the information available for these patients and conventional inpatient units is scarce. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of catheter-related bacteremia (CRB) in patients with ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CR-BSI) in cancer patients and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of the isolates. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY The study was conducted between April 2002 and March 2003 at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi in collaboration with Oncology Unit...
متن کاملDefining bloodstream infections related to central venous catheters in patients with cancer: a systematic review.
The objective of this review was to determine whether consistent definitions were used in published studies of bloodstream infections due to central venous catheters in patients with cancer (ie, catheter-related or catheter-associated bloodstream infections). Review of 191 studies reporting catheter-related or catheter-associated bloodstream infections in patients with cancer revealed a lack of...
متن کاملUsefulness of infrared thermometry in determining body temperature in mice.
The rectal temperature obtained using a standard electronic thermometer was compared with ear, back skin, tail skin, and sole skin temperatures obtained using an infrared thermometer in B6C3F1 mice. Using both methods, we investigated baseline temperatures, diurnal and 2-week variations in temperatures, and ethanol-induced hypothermia in these body locations. Ear and back temperatures were show...
