Splenic abscess secondary to COVID-19 acute infection: A case report and literature review.

Splenic abscess is relatively rare in clinical practice as an invasive disease. However, during the continuous prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the incidence rate of splenic abscess showed an upward trend. However, because the etiology of splenic abscess is not specific, it is easy to be covered by the respiratory symptoms of COVID-19, resulting in omission or delay in diagnosis. If splenic abscesses cannot be treated in a timely manner, the mortality rate can reach 100%. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the correlation between COVID-19 and the development of splenic abscesses. A female patient, 71 years of age, was admitted to our hospital because of cough and sputum for 1 week and fever for 2 days. According to the positive results of novel coronavirus nucleic acid and chest computed tomography, novel coronavirus pneumonia was diagnosed. On the 4th day after treatment, abdominal distension and vomiting were observed. Abdominal ultrasound indicated splenomegaly and mixed echo masses in the spleen and abdominal computed tomography indicated 2 new round low-density lesions were found in the spleen. The patient was diagnosed with secondary splenic abscess after COVID-19 infection. The patient and her family members refused to undergo ultrasound-guided splenic puncture drainage and splenectomy. In terms of treatment, she was given meropenem combined with vancomycin to continue anti-infection treatment. The patient's body temperature and infection indicators gradually increased, and the scope of splenic abscess continued to expand. The infection worsened and progressed to septic shock. The patient abandoned rescue drugs and invasive treatment, and died on the 9th day after admission. This case introduces the clinical characteristics of secondary splenic abscess caused by COVID-19 from the aspects of etiology, disease course, clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations, and treatment methods. The focus is on improving the understanding of clinical doctors about secondary splenic abscesses caused by COVID-19, providing reference for early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Integrated Digital Sphygmomanometer for Simultaneous Blood Pressure and Body Temperature Monitoring

Hypertension is a condition when the blood pressure against the artery walls is too high. High blood pressure can occur because of the patient's temperature, because the higher the patient's body temperature the higher the blood pressure. Therefore, body temperature must be detected before measuring blood pressure in patients. These Digital Tension and Body Temperature parameters are usually still used separately. Because of that, we had the idea to make these two parameters into one unit to facilitate health monitoring. The design of this tool uses the MPX5050GP sensor as a blood pressure detector, the MLX90614 sensor as a body temperature detector and the two sensors are connected directly to the Arduino UNO microcontroller to be processed and later displayed on the Nextion LCD later. The measurement results with the MPX5050GP and MLX9061 showed that the largest systolic error was 2.23% and the smallest was 0.53%. The biggest diastole error was 4.69% and the smallest was 1.79%. The biggest body temperature error is 1.65% and the smallest is 0.45%.

Fuzzy Logic Temperature Control on Blood Warmer Equipped with Patient Temperature and Blood Temperature

Body temperature in humans varies greatly depending on the location where the reading is taken. Normal core body temperature in humans is maintained by the hypothalamus and usually ranges from 36.5°C to 37.5°C. One of the causes of the failure of Too high or too low of a temperature during the blood transfusion procedure may cause blood to freeze or get damaged, both of which can be fatal to humans, therefore the purpose of this tool is to lower blood temperature admission to the patient can be achieved so that there is no temperature drop or temperature drop and so that the blood is not too hot because it can cause damage to red blood cells. This study uses the DS18B20 Sensor to control the heater with PID and Fuzzy controls, the MLX90614 Sensor to adjust the temperature according to the patient's body temperature and the Optocoupler Sensor as an indicator when fluids run out. Previous studies have not used the MLX90614 sensor to detect patient body temperature, have not used TFT Nextion and have not used Fuzzy controls. This Fuzzy control is used as a heater control which then the results are displayed on the Nextion TFT. The results of this study obtained the highest error value of 0.09 with an average error value of 0.04 and obtained the highest overshoot value of 0.8. From the results of the above study it can be concluded that by using the Fuzzy control the response time is slower with a larger overshoot. In the creation of this tool, the benefits that can be derived for the community are facilitating the monitoring of patient temperature and blood temperature during blood transfusions using the Blood Warmer device. The device is also equipped with sensors to detect patient and blood temperatures, and it comes with a Nextion TFT display. Therefore, this device is crucial in assisting the community in performing Blood Transfusions.

Design and manufacture a syringe pump for intelligent injection of specific doses of contrast medicine in medical imaging applications

The construction of an Arduino Uno based syringe pump with the ability to measure the patient's body temperature during injection and detect the contrast material bubble has not been done so far. A syringe pump is a device that controls the volume and flow of milliliters to microliters for a certain period of time with very high precision, which gradually pushes the injection piston. This use of syringe pump for drug administration has been done for years. The working principle of this system consists of installing two steel rods to push the syringe piston at a set speed, which works through a coupling system. The advancement of technology has made it possible to use a motor as the driving force of the syringe filled with liquid released through the needle, and the electronic system in this tool is used as a controller. The design using a stepper motor based on Arduino Uno is chosen to adjust the flow rate; the research includes two stages of software and hardware construction. The hardware is implemented with the components needed to build a syringe pump with an Arduino Uno as the brain of the system and a stepper motor as a piston pusher.The flow rate in the syringe pump can be adjusted with the keyboard and displayed on the screen. It is also possible to see the patient's body temperature on the screen, and to detect bubbles in the contrast liquid during injection, we also put a sensor in this device that alerts the operator.

A stroke patient with persistently intermittent fever treated with gabapentin: A clinical case.

Fever is one of the most common complications in stroke patients and can generally be classified as either infectious or non-infectious. Infectious fevers are commonly caused by pulmonary infections, urinary tract infections, and secondary infections associated with medical interventions such as endotracheal intubation, urinary catheterization, and nasogastric tubes. Non-infectious fevers primarily manifest as central fevers, although in rare cases, they may also result from drug-induced causes. Existing research indicates that the most common cause of central fever is brainstem hemorrhage, followed by hemorrhage in the basal ganglia and thalamus, then cerebellar hemorrhage, large cortical infarction, and basilar artery occlusion, with intraventricular hemorrhage being relatively rare. Stroke patients' body temperatures can rise to 39°C within 12 hours after onset and peak within 24 hours. In this case, a stroke patient with acute cerebral infarction and secondary thalamic hemorrhage developed new sensory abnormalities in the left limbs and intermittent fever during hospitalization. Despite the use of antibiotics targeting a pulmonary infection, the patient's fever did not show significant improvement. Gabapentin was added to the treatment regimen to address the sensory abnormalities. Surprisingly, within four hours of gabapentin administration, the patient's body temperature normalized and remained stable during subsequent monitoring. This observation led us to hypothesize that gabapentin may have a potential role in alleviating central fever.

PID Temperature Control on Blood Warmer Equipped with Patient Temperature and Blood Temperature

Body temperature in humans varies greatly depending on the location where the reading is taken. Normal core body temperature in humans is maintained by the hypothalamus and usually ranges from 36.5°C to 37.5°C. One of the causes of failure in the blood transfusion process can cause death in humans, one of the factors is the blood temperature that is too high or too low during the blood transfusion process can cause the blood to become frozen or damaged, therefore the purpose of this tool is to lower the blood temperature admission to the patient can be achieved so that there is no reduction in temperature or decrease in temperature and so that the blood is not allowed to get too hot because it can cause damage to red blood cells. This study uses the DS18B20 Sensor to control the heater with PID and Fuzzy controls, the MLX90614 Sensor to set the temperature according to the patient's body temperature and the Optocoupler Sensor as an indicator when fluids run out. When using the PID control with Kp = 4, Ki = 1, and Kd = 4, a faster response time is obtained and there is an overshoot with the highest error value of 0.77 and an average error value of 0.02. The results of the study are displayed on the TFT Nextion. From the results of the research above, it can be concluded that using PID control the response time is faster, but there are drawbacks to high overshoot.

Prevalence of perioperative hypothermia and predisposing factors in a children's hospital

Aim: Perioperative hypothermia is more common in pediatric patients than in adult patients due to increased body surface area/weight ratio and limited subcutaneous fat deposits. Therefore, active and passive warming techniques are used more frequently in the surgeries applied to pediatric patients. This study presents the prevalence of perioperative hypothermia and the predisposing conditions for perioperative hypothermia in pediatric orthopedic surgeries in which active and passive warming techniques are applied.Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study included 102 children admitted to the pediatric orthopedic clinic of a children’s hospital. Temperature measurements were made with a calibrated infrared tympanic thermometer in all cases while they were waiting in the service room, when they entered the operation theater, when they left the operation theater and when they left the postoperative care unit. Their demographic data, hemogram and thyroid hormone parameters, preoperative fasting times related to the procedure and temperature were recorded. Also, the humidity and temperature values of the operating theater, the operation type performed, the duration of the operation, the time spent in the operating theater and the recovery time from anesthesia, were all recorded in their follow-up forms. Data analysis was done using the SPSS V21.0 and was conducted at a 95% confidence interval.Results: Hypothermia was observed in 20.58% of 102 patients included in the study. Predisposing factors for perioperative hypothermia included the fact that the patient had a diagnosis of concomitant cerebral palsy, the patient's body temperature was low in the service area, low temperature and humidity values in the operating theatre and staying in the operating theatre for a prolonged period of time.Conclusion: Although active and passive warming techniques are applied during the operation, perioperative hypothermia was observed in 20.58% of pediatric patients who underwent the orthopedic operation. Consideration of predisposing factors together with active and passive warming techniques may reduce the incidence of perioperative hypothermia.

WORKSHOP TREATMENT OF POST SURGICAL HYPOTHERMIC PATIENTS WITH WARMING ELEMENTS ON NURSES IN POST SURGICAL RECOVERY ROOM GRANDMED LUBUK PAKAM HOSPITAL

Surgical procedures have a risk that the integrity or integrity of the body is disturbed and can even cause a life threat to the patient. One of the most at risk was the occurrence of postoperative hypothermia. In the postoperative recovery room, almost all postoperative patients were hypothermic. Nurses in the postoperative room usually provide blankets to warm patients who are hypothermic. This action was less effective to help patients overcome hypothermia. Giving warm fluids was considered effective to help increase the patient's body temperature. This workshop aims to provide knowledge and training on the administration of intravenous fluid heating elements to increase hypothermic body temperature to nurses in the post-surgical recovery room at the Grandmed hospital Lubuk Pakam. The evaluation of this workshop activity was seen from the knowledge of nurses and nurses' skills. Nurses' knowledge and skills were assessed using a questionnaire sheet and pre and post test observations. The results of the workshop showed that as many as 95% of nurses experienced an increase in knowledge and skills in overcoming hypothermia in postoperative patients. This workshop was expected to be able to overcome the problem of hypothermia in postoperative patients and increase the knowledge and skills of nurses.
