Effectiveness of digital thermometers versus infrared thermometers in pediatric patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-19) Hilario Quispe, Rosmery; Matta Solis, Hernán Hugo
Objective: Analyze the evidence about the effectiveness of the use of the digital thermometer versus the infrared thermometer in pediatric patients. Material and Methods: Systematic analysis of 10 scientific articles about the effectiveness of the use of the digital thermometer versus the infrared thermometer in pediatric patients, classified according to criteria, evaluating the quality of the evidence through the Grade system, located in the databases. following data: PubMed, Medline, Elsiber, Bvs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus Results: 30% (n= 3/10) are systematic reviews, 10% (n=1/10) are randomized clinical trials, 20% (n=2/10) are randomized controlled clinical trials, 30% (n=3/10) are cohort studies, and 10% (n=1/10) are randomized clinical trials. It is an analytical cross-sectional study. Of the 10 articles systematically examined, 70% (n=7/10) determined the effectiveness of the use of digital thermometers in terms of its use being more effective, precise and sensitive, even at higher temperatures and 30% (n=3 /10) agree that measuring infrared temperature is faster, as it does not contact the skin, is easier for the pediatric patient and there is not much relevance with the digital thermometer. Conclusions: Of the articles examined, 7 of the 10 articles demonstrate that the digital thermometer is considered more effective due to its precision, sensitivity, and 3 of the 10 articles report that the infrared thermometer is considered more effective due to its speed, and less contact with the patient.

Effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus infrared tympanic temperature measurement in neonates
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-08-12) Fasabi Amasifuen, Angelica; Calsin Pacompia, Wilmer
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement in neonates. Materials and Methods: The study conducted is a quantitative comparative design with a systematic review. The population consisted of 40 articles, of which 10 articles were selected based on the research study, as only these articles were relevant to the topic under investigation. The databases used were Elsevier, Lilax, Ebsco, Epistemonikos, PubMed, and Cochrane. A critical and intensive evaluation of each article was performed, and based on this, the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation for each article were determined using the GRADE method. Results: From the systematic review of the articles, 100% of the articles showed that 20% were from the USA, Turkey, and Nigeria, respectively, and 10% from India, Chile, and Sudan. Regarding the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement versus tympanic infrared temperature measurement, 80% (n=10/8) agreed that rectal temperature measurement is more effective and safer in neonate interventions; from this, it can be inferred that it can be implemented in clinical settings. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles, 8 demonstrated the effectiveness of rectal temperature measurement using a mercury glass thermometer in newborn interventions (neonates).

Effectiveness of the forced air warming system in the prevention of hypothermia in the perioperative period
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-10) Guzman Ore, Ruth; Portocarrero Pavlich, Victoria Dora; Pretell Aguliar, Rosa María
Objective: To analyze and systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of forced air warming systems in the prevention of hypothermia during the perioperative period. Materials and methods: The systematic review includes 14 scientific articles identified in the following databases: Lilacs, Lipecs, PubMed, Medline, Ebsco, Cochrane Plus, and Scielo. Of the 14 pieces of evidence, 71% (10/14) are systematic reviews and 29% (4/14) are meta-analyses. All the studies have high evidence quality and strong recommendation strength. Results: 79% (n=11/14) of the systematically reviewed articles show that forced air warming systems are effective in preventing hypothermia during the perioperative period. 21% (n=3/14) of the reviewed articles disagree, stating that with the advent of new technologies used in active cutaneous warming systems, further research is needed to confirm systems that showed superiority when compared to forced air warming systems, as well as systems with a reduced number of studies developed so far. Conclusions: The effectiveness of forced air warming systems in preventing hypothermia during the perioperative period has been demonstrated.

Efficacy of the use of external active heating devices in the perioperative period to reduce hypothermia in patients undergoing surgical intervention
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-02-16) Erribari Sulluchuco, Mirtha Nitza; Giraldo Vicente, Betzabé Maira; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of external active heating devices in the perioperative period to reduce hypothermia in patients undergoing surgical intervention. Materials and Methods: A retrospective systematic review was carried out, which summarizes the findings of various primary studies. These investigations are an important part of evidence-based nursing to answer clinical questions. Thus, it was restricted to documents using the GRADE system, which allowed the recommendation power to be strengthened. Subsequently, the selected investigations were subjected to critical analysis. Results: Finally, 10 articles were selected, carried out in the present study, the active heating methods are efficient, although some seem to be more efficient than others. Better findings were obtained when warming was extended to the preoperative stage to reduce the occurrence of perioperative hypothermia. For this reason, intervention measures are necessary in order to prevent hypothermia and maintain normal temperature before and during the operation. Conclusions: Active warming methods were shown to be effective in maintaining perioperative normothermia. Being an effective measure (efficient and effective), since it increases body temperature and thermal comfort, patient satisfaction and facilitates venous cannulation, it reduces bleeding, infection of the surgical wound, mechanical ventilation time, use of fluids, vasodilators, morphine and antibiotics, blood pressure and cardiac disorders, reduces hospitalization time and costs. Warming during the intraoperative period is sufficient to effectively prevent hypothermia, both at this stage and in the postoperative period.
