Shock is a complex clinical syndrome caused by an acute failure of circulatory function resulting in inadequate tissue and organ perfusion. Digital infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive technique that can detect changes in blood perfusion by detecting small changes in the temperature of the skin. In this preliminary study, eight pediatric patients (five boys, three girls), ages ranging from 6 to 14 years (average: 9.8 years), were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at "Dr. Ignacio Morones Prieto" Central Hospital; here, the patients were examined using digital infrared thermal imaging. Patients in shock showed a significant decrease in distal temperature (at least 7°), compared to critically ill patients without shock. The latter group presented a skin temperature pattern very similar to the one previously reported for healthy children. The results show that infrared thermography can be used as a non-invasive method for monitoring the temperature in pediatric patients in intensive care units in order to detect shock in its early stages.
休克是一种由循环功能急性衰竭引起的复杂临床综合征，导致组织和器官灌注不足。数字红外热成像技术是一种非侵入性技术，可通过检测皮肤温度的微小变化来检测血液灌注的变化。在这项初步研究中，八名儿科患者（五名男孩，三名女孩），年龄在6至14岁之间（平均：9.8岁），被收治到“伊格纳西奥·莫罗内斯·普列托博士”中央医院的重症监护病房；在这里，使用数字红外热成像技术对患者进行了检查。与无休克的重症患者相比，休克患者的远端温度显著降低（至少7°）。后一组患者的皮肤温度模式与先前报道的健康儿童的模式非常相似。结果表明，红外热成像可作为一种非侵入性方法，用于监测重症监护病房儿科患者的体温，以便在休克早期进行检测。
