The influence of hypothermia prevention by application of skin moisture absorbent on the value of body temperature, body weight and blood parameters in piglets / A influência da prevenção da hipotermia pela aplicação de absorvente de umidade da pele no valor da temperatura corporal, peso corporal e parâmetros sanguíneos em leitões

Reducing the mortality rate is of a great economic importance for pig farming. Therefore, it is necessary to define the conditions in the farrowing unit based on the performance of the piglets, and specific hematological and biochemical parameters. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the importance of using skin moisture absorbent and its influence in preventing hypothermia, which causes great economic losses in pig production. The experiment was set up on a commercial farm in Serbia and included 92 pigs divided into the experimental and control group. Body temperature values, body weight and blood parameters were monitored. The obtained values indicate that there is a significantly positive correlation of body temperature change and body weight values, and body temperature showed a significantly higher increase in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results obtained from hematological and biochemical parameters provide a clearer picture of the metabolic processes in piglets in the farrowing unit and can be used to further improve pig production and as a complement to genetic enhancement.(AU)

A redução da taxa de mortalidade é de grande importância econômica para a suinocultura. Portanto, é necessário definir as condições na unidade de parto com base no desempenho dos leitões, para serem parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos específicos. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é examinar a importância do uso de absorvente de umidade na pele e sua influência na prevenção da hipotermia, que causa grandes perdas econômicas na produção de suínos. A experiência foi montada em uma fazenda comercial na Sérvia, e incluiu 92 porcos divididos no grupo experimental e de controle. Os valores de temperatura corporal, pesos corporais e parâmetros sanguíneos foram monitorados. Os valores obtidos indicam que existe uma correlação significativamente positiva entre os valores da temperatura corporal e dos pesos corporais, e a temperatura corporal mostrou um aumento significativamente maior no grupo experimental em comparação com o grupo de controle. Os resultados obtidos a partir de parâmetros hematológicos e bioquímicos fornecem uma imagem mais clara dos processos metabólicos em leitões na unidade de parto e podem ser usados para melhorar ainda mais a produção de suínos e como um complemento ao melhoramento genético.(AU)

Randomized clinical study comparing active heating methods for prevention of intraoperative hypothermia in gastroenterology / Estudo clínico randomizado comparando métodos de aquecimento ativo para prevenção de hipotermia intraoperatória em gastroenterologia / Estudio clínico aleatorizado comparando métodos de calentamiento activo para prevención de hipotermia intraoperatoria en gastroenterología

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the efficacy of three active heating methods in the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia in open gastroenterological surgeries. Method: randomized clinical trial with a sample of 75 patients, whose initial body temperature measured by a tympanic thermometer. Esophageal temperature <36ºC was considered hypothermic. Patients were divided into three groups using: thermal mattress, underbody forced-air warming blanket and heated infusion system. The tympanic and esophageal temperatures were measured at different times of the intraoperative period, but the temperature considered gold standard was the esophageal. To evaluate the homogeneity of the groups, we used chi-square test (categorical variables). In the comparison of temperature measurements over time, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the contrast profile test were used for the difference in temperature between the times. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the three groups. The level of significance was 5%. Results: regarding the studied variables, the groups were not homogeneous as to the categorical variable sex. All patients presented hypothermia during the intraoperative period (p> 0.05). Conclusion: there was no significant difference between the heating methods in the prevention of intraoperative hypothermia. REBEC - Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (RBR- no. 52shjp).

Onda de Osborn asociada a hipotermia sin bradicardia presente. A propósito de un caso / Osborn´s wave associated to hypothermia without the presence of bradycardia. A propos of a case

La onda J de Osborn es una deflexión que se inscribe en el electrocardiograma (ECG) entre el complejo QRS y el inicio del segmento ST. La onda J tiene una alta sensibilidad y especificidad en la hipotermia, aunque no es patognomónica. Se han descrito casos en la hemorragia subaracnoidea, la hipercalcemia, la isquemia cardíaca aguda y la hipotermia severa. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino, alcohólico, encontrado en situación de bajo nivel de conciencia por sobredosificación de alcohol, que desarrolló un cuadro de hipotermia con la presencia de una onda de Osborn en el electrocardiograma sin bradicardia asociada (AU).

The Osborn´s J wave is a deflection inscribed in the electrocardiogram (ECG) between the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J wave shows a high sensibility and specificity in the hypothermia, although it is not patognomonic. Cases have been described in subarachnoid hemorrhage, hypercalcemia, acute cardiac ischemia and severe hypothermia. The case of an alcoholic, male patient is presented. He was found in a situation of a low awareness level due to alcohol overdoses, and developed hypothermia with the presence of an Osborn´s wave in the electrocardiogram without associated bradycardia (AU).

Hipotermia em pacientes no período perioperatório / Hypothermia in patients during the perioperative period / Hipotermia en pacientes en el período perioperatorio

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os fatores que desencadeiam a hipotermia em pacientes em sala de operação e as manifestações em sala de recuperação anestésica. O estudo foi realizado em um hospital de grande porte da rede mista da cidade de Santos. A coleta de dados foi realizada em 30 pacientes adultos, com temperatura corpórea entre de 36ºC e 37,2ºC na entrada da sala de operações com procedimentos cirúrgicos eletivos e anestesia geral. Os resultados demonstraram que os métodos preventivos de hipotermia mais utilizados foram a infusão venosa aquecida e a manta térmica. Na saída da sala de operação e até 30 minutos na sala de recuperação anestésica, os pacientes permaneceram hipotérmicos. As manifestações de hipotermia foram demonstradas pela hipoxemia e por tremores. Neste estudo, evidenciou-se que a hipotermia no paciente é desencadeada na sala de operação pela falta de medidas preventivas adequadas, acarretando complicações em período de recuperação anestésica.

The objective of this study was to identify the factors that trigger hypothermia in patients in surgery, and the manifestations in the anesthesia recovery room. This study was performed in a large hospital of the City of Santos hospital network. Data were collected from 30 adult patients, whose body temperature when entering the surgical suite was between 36ºC and 37.2ºC, who underwent elective procedures and received general anesthesia. Results show that the most common methods used to prevent hypothermia were infusing warmed intravenous fluids and using a thermal blanket. From the moment the patient left the surgical suite until 30 minutes post-recovery in the anesthesia recovery room, patients remained hypothermic. Hypothermia was manifested by hypoxemia and shivering. In this study, it was shown that hypothermia in patients is triggered while in the surgical suite due to the lack of appropriate preventive measures, leading to complications in the anesthesia recovery period.

Hypothermia in Iranian newborns. Incidence, risk factors and related complications

To determine the incidence rate and factors associated with hypothermia in Iranian newborns and to discover the effect of hypothermia on neonatal morbidity and mortality. We selected a random sample of 1952 neonates using a multistage sampling technique from February 2004 to February 2005 in University Teaching Hospitals in Iran. We measured repeatedly at different time points the rectal temperature of these newborns. At each time of measurement, those with rectal temperature <36OC were considered as hypothermic. The obtained results showed that approximately one third of newborns became hypothermic immediately after birth. In addition, the regression analysis revealed that low birth weights, prematures, low apgar scores, infants of multiple pregnancies and those who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation had higher risk for being hypothermic. It was also found that hypothermia increases the risk of metabolic acidosis, jaundice, respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, pulmonary hemorrhage and death, regardless of the newborn's weight and gestational age. There is an urgent need to train mothers and all levels of neonatal care staff to control this health problem in our country

Temperature monitoring in newborns using thermospot.

OBJECTIVE: Hypothermia is a common problem in newborns. This is more so in community environment especially in low-birth weight and preterm babies. METHODS: A simple liquid crystal temperature monitoring device was used in 20 infants on a continuous basis to monitor for hypothermia. This was compared with the measurement of rectal temperature using a rectal thermometer. The colour changes and measures to be taken when hypothermia occurs was explained to the mothers and was well understood by all. RESULTS: The Thermo Spot was in agreement with the rectal temperature in 310 out of 313 measurements. This includes 299 times when temperature was normal; and 11 times when the temperature was hypothermic. It underestimated the temperature of three infants, falsely indicating hypothermia in a normothermic child with normal body temperature. It correctly identified hypothermia in every case. CONCLUSION: ThermoSpot device is a simple accurate device allowing continuous thermal monitoring of low birth weight infants, especially in resource poor setting.

A Case of Hypothermia Combined with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease affecting various organ systems. Hypothermia is a rare manifestation of SLE. We experienced a case of SLE combined with hypothermia. A 36-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as SLE 3 days before admission, admitted complaining of mental confusion. After admission, her body temperature, initially 36.1 degree C, became 32.6 degree C. Her core body temperature was less than 35.0 degree C. Despite of warming with heating lamp and blankets, her core temperature did not reach 35.0 degree C during 18 hours. Ten days later, her temperature exceeded 36.0 degree C.

Knowledge, attitude and practices about neonatal hypothermia among medical and paramedical staff.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices about neonatal hypothermia among medical and paramedical staff dealing with newborn care. A total of 160 subjects were assessed (40 pediatric medicine residents, 40 obstetric residents, 40 private practitioners and 40 paramedical staff working in labor room and postnatal wards) A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used. Only 47.8% of the subjects defined neonatal hypothermia correctly. As many as 52.2% of the interviewees considered it to be an uncommon problem. Lethargy, refusal for feed and cold to touch were mentioned as common symptoms of neonatal hypothermia by 97.5%, 80% and 77.5% of the respondents respectively. Decreased body temperature, cyanosis, apnea and edema of feet were found as common signs. Only 18.6% of the interviewees had knowledge about correct method of recording the temperature in a newborn. The present study reveals the gross lacunae in the knowledge regarding various aspects of neonatal hypothermia among pediatric and obstetric residents and paramedical staff working in labor room and postnatal wards. To reduce the neonatal morbidity and mortality due to neonatal hypothermia, greater emphasis should be laid on this problem while designing curriculum for training of undergraduate and postgraduate doctors, paramedical staff and traditional birth attendants.

Near drowning in cold water.

Drowning and near drowning is a common cause of accidental death all over the world; specially in road traffic accidents over bridges, swimming pool and boat tragedies. Cold water drowning resulting in hypothermia can lead to instant death before actual drowning. Five cases of near drowning (ND) in cold water, who presented with varied clinical picture like coma with decerebrate rigidity and fixed dilated pupils, hypertension with coma and delayed pulmonary oedema (Secondary drowning) are reported. Energetic management with continuous positive airway pressure was very rewarding in all patients with ND except in one who had transient organic psychosis persisting for two weeks followed by minimal cognitive defect in the form of slow mentation, lack of drive and mild irritability (Bender Gestald Test Score of 53). We have tried to analyse some of the clinical features of ND and the sequel associated with it. The management as well as recent developments in the field are also discussed.

Funçäo cerebral após a parada cardiorrespiratória: síndrome pós-ressuscitaçäo / Cerebral function after cardiac arrest: post-resuscitation syndrome

O prognóstico atual da parada cardiorrespiratória depende basicamente da rapidez com que se inicia a ressuscitaçäo adequada. Até o momento apenas a reduçäo do tempo para a ressuscitaçäo pode aumentar a sobrevida das pacientes com parada cardiorrespiratória. A morte de células particularmente vulneráveis ocorre em parte devido às anormalidades circulatórias durante a fase de reperfusäo, que säo as lesöes secundárias da síndrome pós-ressuscitaçäo. Em modelos animais de parada circulatória total, a morbidade e mortalidade podem ser reduzidas com a melhora da reperfusäo que é obtida por meio da combinaçäo de tratamentos, entre os quais incluem-se a promoçäo do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral (hipertensäo arterial transitória, hemodiluiçäo e normocapnia) e a hipotermia leve (34oC) imediatamente após a parada circulatória. Este artigo tem como objetivo fornecer uma visäo do estado atual do conhecimento na área de ressuscitaçäo cerebral, com especial atençäo às terapêuticas emergentes.

Irrigación pleural continua en hipotermia

Assessment of newborn baby's temperature by human touch: a potentially useful primary care strategy.

Fifty healthy term neonates delivered at All India Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital were assessed by three pediatricians for skin temperature to the nearest +/- 0.5 degrees C at the three body sites, i.e., mid-forehead, abdomen and dorsum of right foot by touch. The predicted temperatures at different sites were compared with simultaneously recorded temperatures at the same sites with the help of an electronic thermometer having a sensitivity of +/- 0.1 degree C. Rectal temperature was also recorded in all the babies with a rectal thermister to compare the variations between the core and skin temperatures. There was a good correlation between the skin temperatures of the babies as perceived by touch and values recorded with the help of an electronic thermometer. All the hypothermic babies were correctly picked up by all the observers. There was good correlation between core temperature and skin temperature at different sites except forehead. It is amazing that even during the month of May, when ambient temperature was maintained between 26-28 degrees C, nearly one fifth of the healthy term babies were under cold stress as evidenced by greater than 2 degrees C difference between the core and peripheral skin temperatures. It is recommended that health professionals and mothers should be explained the importance of evaluating the core and peripheral skin temperature by touch for early identification of babies under cold stress in order to prevent occurrence of life threatening hypothermia.
