Clinical significance of disposable body temperature probe
Studies have shown that 36.5°C to 37.5°C is the average core temperature of the human body and must be kept stable at all times, as changes in core temperature can cause significant changes in vital signs. In anesthesia surgery, for example, hypothermia can lead to a variety of postoperative complications:
coagulation disorders
Decreased metabolic rate
angina pectoris
Arrhythmia
ischemic tissue damage
myocardial infarction
Therefore, the use of temperature probes for body temperature monitoring during anesthesia surgery and continuous monitoring of patient body temperature after surgery is particularly important.
In today's healthcare industry, disposable temperature probes are more popular than reusable temperature probes, depending on the benefits and convenience of disposable products in medical activities.
Disposable medical devices are meant to be used for only one operation on one patient and should then be discarded immediately to reduce hospital feeling.
The key to whether reusable medical devices can be reused is to take necessary measures. Doctors and nurses must clean, disinfect and sterilize the devices according to the instructions or manuals.
The working principle of the disposable body temperature probe:
The probe for body temperature measurement contains a high-precision thermistor, which is a negative temperature resistance, and its impedance changes with the change of the external temperature. The monitor converts the impedance change of the thermistor into an electrical signal, and calculates the temperature through conversion. numerical value.
Under normal circumstances, the human body will regulate the temperature within the normal body temperature range through its own thermoregulatory system. Body temperature detection is an important part of clinical medical care work, and changes in body temperature have very important clinical significance for definite diagnosis, judgment of illness and analysis of curative effect, and cannot be ignored.
