Abstract:Core
body temperature (CBT) is one of the four vital
signs that
must be monitored continuously. The continuous recording of CBT is
possible through invasive methods by inserting a temperature probe
into specific body sites. We report a novel method to monitor CBT
through the quantitative measurement of skin blood perfusion rate
(ωb,skin). By monitoring the skin temperature, heat
flux, and ωb,skin, the arterial blood temperature,
equivalent to CBT, can be extracted. ωb,skin is quantitatively
evaluated thermally… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
