RESUMEN

Monitorizar la temperatura en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) es esencial, pues un gran número de enfermedades van acompañadas de cambios de temperatura corporal. Permite una diagnosis acertada de pacientes enfermos e introducir intervenciones terapéuticas apropiadas en el menor tiempo posible, así como también nos ayuda a controlar y evaluar el curso de ciertas enfermedades y la efectividad de un tratamiento iniciado. Se diferencian dos grandes grupos según el lugar donde se mida la temperatura: la periférica o superficial que se refiere a la cutánea y la central que se obtiene introduciendo un termómetro en una cavidad corporal [...]
