The objective of this study was the measurement of skin temperature of patients with decubitus ulcers during long-term illness. IC temperature sensors, arranged on the bed sheet, were used to monitor body movement without attaching sensors directly to the skin; the spatial distribution of temperature was measured. The results of these studies showed that decubitus ulcers were caused by reduced body movement; higher temperature distribution was observed in the area of decubitus ulcers than in normal areas. The difference in skin temperature between the decubitus ulcer areas and normal areas varied from 1.6 degrees C to 3.1 degrees C. The temperature in the decubitus ulcer area was found to be higher than the temperature of areas in which decubitus ulcers were either developing or healing.
本研究的目的是测量长期患病的压疮患者的皮肤温度。安置在床单上的集成电路温度传感器用于在不将传感器直接附着于皮肤的情况下监测身体活动；测量了温度的空间分布。这些研究结果表明，压疮是由身体活动减少引起的；在压疮区域观察到的温度分布高于正常区域。压疮溃疡区域与正常区域之间的皮肤温度差异在1.6摄氏度至3.1摄氏度之间。发现压疮溃疡区域的温度高于压疮正在形成或愈合区域的温度。
