Tympanic thermometry in heat stroke: is it justifiable?   Document Language : English  Abstract : Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Quick diagnosis, and sorting of victims for severity is very important for positive prognosis. Tympanic membrane thermometry was introduced as a good index for core body temperature. Therefore, we have used a sheep model for heat stroke, to study the reliability of measuring body temperature at the tympanic membrane, as a diagnostic index in heat stroke management. This was compared to measuring body temperature at the skin and the rectum. We have observed no major superiority of tympanic over rectal thermometry in regard to its ability to sort out heat stroke cases according to severity. On the other hand, skin thermometry was found not to be a reliable index in this regard  ISSN : 0252-1164  Journal Name : Clinical Physiology and Biochemistry  Volume : 7  Issue Number : 5  Publishing Year : 1409 AH 1989 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Wednesday, March 30, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email أسامة طيب Tayeb, Osama Investigator Doctorate   زهير المرزوقي Marzouki, Zohair Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  29426.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
