Warm-up Efficiency by Body Warmer Versus Standard Procedure in Severely Traumatized Patients

Warm-up Efficiency by Body Warmer Versus Standard Procedure in Severely Traumatized Patients

A prospective comparative study between prewarming and cowarming to prevent intraoperative hypothermia.

Background and Aims:Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia defined as the perioperative core temperature of <36°C is a common problem in day-to-day anesthesia practice. It is not clear from the literature whether prewarming, that is, initiation of convective warming of the patient at a time point prior to induction of anesthesia is superior or comparable to cowarming, that is, initiation of convective warming simultaneously with induction of anesthesia. We conducted this study to find whether cowarming is as good as prewarming in preventing the occurrence of intraoperative hypothermia.Material and Methods:Sixty-two adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomized to receive either prewarming for 60 min at 40° C or cowarming using the Level 1® Equator ® body warmer. All patients who were prewarmed also received cowarming during induction of anesthesia. In both the groups, convective warming was continued during intraoperative period. Incidence of intraoperative hypothermia, core, and peripheral body temperatures were compared between the two groups.Results:Among 27 patients in each group who completed the study core temperature decreased to <35° C toward the end of surgery in 17 patients in group prewarming [mean (SD) 34.59 (1.17° C)] and 18 patients in group cowarming [mean (SD) 34.31 (1.34° C)]. The incidence of intraoperative hypothermia and the core temperature at the end of surgery were comparable (P = 0.42).Conclusion:Cowarming is as effective as prewarming to prevent intraoperative hypothermia.

鉄粉酸化反応層の熱特性に関する研究

This paper presents an experimental and analytical investigation of the thermal characteristics in a layer of exothermic powder mixture that is utilized in body warmers, hot compresses, thermotherapy, etc. The research objective is to develop a manufacturing method that enables the exothermic temperature to be controlled in order to prevent cases of low-temperature burns. The exothermic powder mixture generally comprises metal powder, catalyst powder, and vermiculite particle absorbing some saline solution. The exothermic powder mixture is put into a mini-autoclave, and then placed in a constant temperature bath after the atmosphere inside the mini-autoclave has been replaced with pure oxygen. The degradation of oxygen pressure inside the mini-autoclave shows that the reaction rate of corrosion depends on the reaction temperature, the volume of the saline solution, and the conversion of iron powder into oxide, in addition to the ambient oxygen concentration; a correlation is suggested for the reaction rate. The variation over time of the temperature distribution in a layer of the exothermic powder mixture is evaluated analytically using this empirical correlation for the reaction rate, and compared with the experimental results. In the analysis, the mass, momentum, energy and oxygen component equations are solved numerically for a layer of the exothermic powder mixture, which is regarded as a porous medium. The analysis does not predict the temperature distribution accurately, but the analytical and experimental results are in accordance qualitatively.

Evaluating the cold protective performance (CPP) of an electrically heated garment (EHG) and a chemically heated garment (CHG) in cold environments

This study investigated the cold protective performance (CPP) of two types of heated garments using a Newton manikin operated in constant temperature mode (CT) and thermoregulatory model control (TMC) mode. The effect of two levels of air velocity (i.e., 0.4±0.1 m/s and 1.0±0.1 m/s) on the CPP was discussed. Five scenarios were chosen, the traditional cold protective ensemble (CON), the electrically heated garment (EHG), the non-heated electrically heated garment (EHGCON, heating was turned off), the chemically heated garment (CHG) and the non-heated chemically heated garment (CHGCON) (completely oxidized body warmers were used). All experiments were performed at ta=2.0±0.3 oC and RH=80±5 %. Results demonstrated that both EHG and CHG could provide improved cold protection compared to the nonheated garments, evidenced by the significantly higher thermal insulation in EHG and CHG at both two air velocities (p 0.05). It was thus anticipated that both two heated garments could improve human wear thermal comfort in cold environments.

Incidence of Lumbar Plexopathy while Utilizing Mechanomyography for Transpsoas Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Introduction Previous studies utilizing electromyography (EMG) have reported that the incidence of thigh complications during transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) ranged from 0.7 to 75%. The reliability of EMG has been questioned because of false-positives, false-negatives, and electrical interference from common operating-room equipment. Mechanomyography is a new neuromonitoring technique that functions by measuring the mechanical activity in muscles, or “twitch,” noninvasively using surface-mounted accelerometers on the skin following nerve stimulation and muscle contraction. MMG may provide an alternative to EMG for neuromonitoring. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of thigh complications during transpsoas LLIF utilizing MMG to monitor the lumbar plexus. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of prospectively collected data of four different surgeons at four separate institutions was performed. A total of 85 consecutive patients, with 175 instrumented levels, were included who underwent transpsoas LLIF surgery (L1–L5) during a 1-year period. Immediate postoperative and routine follow-up clinical examinations at 3, 6, and 12 months were obtained. Results The rate of all ipsilateral thigh symptoms (pain, numbness, and weakness) was 21.2% (18/85). Eight patients (9.4%) had iliopsoas or quadriceps weakness (3/5 motor strength). Overall, 10 patients (11.8%) had anterior thigh pain and/or numbness. Most patients with postoperative thigh symptoms (16/18) had 3 or 4 level procedures performed for adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) and included the L45 level. All thigh symptoms resolved within 3 months. Conclusion MMG is a safe and effective alternative to EMG for nerve mapping during transpsoas LLIF surgery and overcomes deficiencies related to the high rates of false-positives and false-negatives inherent to EMG. In addition, unlike EMG, MMG is not affected by electrical artifact seen with common operating-room equipment such as the bovie electrocautery and bair hugger body warmer. With the use of MMG, the rate of ipsilateral thigh symptoms was 21.2%, which is consistent with currently reported rates for transpsoas LLIF procedures utilizing EMG. In our study, most thigh symptoms occurred in patients with multilevel LLIF procedures performed and direct trauma to the psoas may have contributed to our results and the actual rate of nerve-related thigh symptoms might be lower. All symptomatic patients had L45 included in their construct. MMG is a safe alternative to EMG to monitor the lumbar plexus when performing transpsoas LLIF.

高気圧酸素治療における温度センサを用いた単回使用カイロの検出に関する研究開発

The hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is administered for sudden deafness， intestinal obstruction, carbon monoxide poisoning. If flammable materials such as silk, wool, synthetic textile materials or disposable body warmer which utilizing the exothermic reaction were brought into the HBOT monoplace chamber, it may cause fire or explosion. In order to avoid such accidents, the patient should understand the therapy principle and the dangerousness of such materials, and also the medical staffs should check carefully the patient's body whether the patient has such flammable materials involuntarily. Currently, the check is performed by a body search, in addition to visual inspection and oral questions by several staffs. However the disposable body warmer is hard to find especially when it's adhered to underwear because it's very thin and the medical staffs also have to concern the patient's privacy. In this study, we have developed a system which detects the disposable body warmer noninvasively and quantitatively by infrared thermal sensorsThe proposed system may be useful as complement of the current body search protocol.

A Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma Successfully Treated with Local Hyperthermia

A 58-year-old Japanese woman who was engaged in dairy farming presented with multiple subcutaneous nodules and abscesses on the dorsum of her left hand from 5 months ago. These had been unsuccessfully treated with oral itraconazole. The patient had a history of Sjögren syndrome and diabetes mellitus, for which she had been taking oral prednisolone for 10 years. Direct microscopy of a pus sample treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) showed brownish-red branching hyphae. In fungal culture, black colonies covered with gray-white villi were formed. Slide culture showed conidiogenesis from an annellide. The fungal strain was identified as Exophialia oligosperma by molecular biological techniques. Histopathological examination revealed abscesses and surrounding granulomatous infiltration in the dermis and subcutis, and hyphae in the granulomatous infiltration in the outer area. However, no eumycotic granules were observed. The diagnosis was phaeohyphomycosis caused by E. oligosperma. Since the previous treatment with itraconazole had not been effective, we performed daily hyperthermia using a disposable body warmer and drainage of the pus, which ceased after 3 weeks. After approximately 4 months, the skin eruptions became scarred. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by E. oligosperma reported in Japan which was successfully treated with hyperthermia.

Combination cryosurgery with hyperthermia in the management of skin metastasis from breast cancer: A case report

INTRODUCTIONSkin metastases may impair the quality of life due to physical appearance, odour, and bleeding. PRESENTATION OF CASEA 70-year-old woman presented with two enlarging nodules (measuring 12cm and 3cm in diameter) consistent with metastatic breast cancer in the left subclavicular area. The larger tumour did not respond to initial cryosurgery. Therefore we added hyperthermia using a disposable body warmer. In addition, the cryosurgery technique was modified to freeze deeper tissue. The entire tumour was covered with dry cotton, to which liquid nitrogen was applied. Twenty weeks later, the tumour became nearly flat and the patient noted improved activity in her daily life. DISCUSSIONCombination treatment with sufficient freezing is important for controlling the tumour, while hyperthermia may accelerate the antitumor effects of cryosurgery. CONCLUTIONThis treatment provides an alternative for unresectable breast cancer skin metastases resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
