ASSESMENT OF PERIOPERATIVE HYPOTHERMIA
Mohamed Hussien Seleim;
Abstract
Temperature of human body 1s regulated through negative feedback mechanism controlled by posterior hypothalamus. The body responds to thermal changes by several mechanisms. These mechanisms are cold responses and warm responses.
Cold responses (to cold weather) include, behavioral responses, cutaneous vasoconstriction, non-shivering thermogenesis, and shivering. Warm responses (to warm weather) include, behavioral responses, sweating, and active vasodilatation. Behavioral responses are the most important mechanisms of either cold or warm responses .
Heat transfer through the skin occurs through four routes; radiation, conduction, convection, and evaporation.
Temperature monitoring can be achieved by several devices.
These devices include; the resistance thermometer, thermistor, thermocouple, and infrared tympanic thermometer.
