Body temperature of patients in critical care units can be monitored with a variety of devices and at a variety of body sites. In recent years, monitoring of urinary bladder temperature has become more common. Temperature-sensing indwelling urinary catheters allow continuous drainage of urine and continuous measurement of body temperature. This article provides a comprehensive and critical revi...

— This study presents a real-time remote monitoring system (RTRMS) for the temperature of patients admitted to hospitals. A GSM modem was interfaced with microcontroller PIC16F877A to alerts physicians in real time via short message service (SMS) in emergency cases when the temperature of a patient rises. A sleep/wake energy-efficient algorithm has been implemented inside the microcontroller t...

A systematic approach for fish shelf life modelling and Time Temperature Integrator (TTI) selection in order to plan and apply an effective quality monitoring scheme for the fish chill chain was developed. The temperature behaviour of the natural microflora of the Mediterranean fish boque (Boops boops) was studied and growth of the specific spoilage bacteria Pseudomonas spp. and Shewanella putr...

This paper presents a case-study for the optimization, the monitoring and the automatic control of a refrigeration system in a commercial store. The existing controllers were replaced by Omron temperature controllers, connected to an industrial network and linked to a central computer for data monitoring and temperature control using a LabView software. In case of an alarm occurrence, this syst...

Aiming at the application of the experimental system of earth temperature monitoring, this study designed a ZigBee technology-based wireless sensor network (WSN) and designed the network topology according to actual demand. The system adopted a tree network model and used the CC2430 as the core chip of the wireless communication network of temperature measuring system. Moreover, DS18B20 tempera...

In this paper, the design and development of a Building Energy and Environment Monitoring System (BEEMS) for smart campus applications is proposed. The system is implemented based on distributed sensor nodes using ZigBee technology, which empowers the collection and monitoring of various types of measurements that reflect the energy consumption and environmental status of buildings. These param...

The automated procedure for the monitoring of the adsorption process in the solute-sorbent-solvent system has been elaborated. It uses commercially available instrument CRYSTAF model 200. The application of CRYSTAF enabled monitoring of adsorption of linear polyethylene with weight average molar masses of 2, 14, and 53 kg/mol from 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene onto zeolite SH-300 at temperature as hig...

There is uncertainty about the reliability of using body temperature readings as a ‘surrogate’ measure of brain temperature. Aim: To determine the temporal inter-relationship between body and brain temperature after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Setting and Patients: Large University teaching hospital in the North West of England. Patients admitted for emergency neurocritical care. All p...

Intraoperative management of patient body temperature is a standard of care for practicing anesthesiologists. Merely complying with the Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) measurement is inadequate for optimizing perioperative outcomes. Clinicians should have a sound understanding of available temperature monitoring sites, deleterious effects of hypothermia, and indications for therapeutic...
