This study was designed to investigate the effect on skin temperature of different methods of use of a hydrogel dressing.
Twelve volunteers had temperature measured under a hydrogel dressing with different combinations of air movement and bandaging.
A large drop in skin temperature was only achieved when the dressing was left exposed with air movement over the surface of the dressing.
A temperature that gives effective analgesia is not reached if the dressing is used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (covered with an insulating layer). This explains the authors' observation that paramedics and patients often leave these dressings uncovered.
本研究旨在调查不同使用方法的水凝胶敷料对皮肤温度的影响。
12名志愿者在不同空气流动和包扎组合的水凝胶敷料下测量体温。
只有当敷料暴露在外且敷料表面有空气流动时,皮肤温度才会大幅下降。
如果按照制造商的说明使用敷料(覆盖隔热层),则无法达到有效镇痛的温度。这解释了作者观察到的护理人员和患者经常不覆盖这些敷料的现象。
