Using a Infrared Thermometer to the Early Detection of Catheter Related Infections

NCT02077816 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 39

Last updated 2014-03-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a pilot study which aims to show the temperatures measured on body surface with an infrared thermometer on inpatients who need a central venous catheter (CVC) for medical care. Because the local temperature could be altered, at least during local infectious processes, seems to be reasonable to think that this approach could be helpful to its early diagnosis.
