“…Furthermore, recent studies demonstrated the validity and applicability of using the cell phones-connected thermal cameras for different clinical implications. [20][21][22][23] FLIR ONE is a LWIR smartphone-connected thermal camera. It is a light hand-held device, easy to use, noninvasive, cheap, reliable, and an objective tool that provides an immediate reading for skin temperature and reflects the perfusion status of the limb.…”

Background: Infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive technique capable of detecting changes in temperature that could ultimately signify changes in blood supply. Flir One is a smartphone-based thermal camera, working by a downloadable application, capable of detecting the limb temperature through a non-contact method using infrared thermography technology. Using the Flir One camera, we will assess the lower limb reperfusion profile following the tourniquet release post total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A prospective study included 46 patients who underwent primary TKA. We used the (Flir One Gen 3) thermographic camera to capture images at ankle joint preoperatively, and at 1, 10, and 20 minutes post tourniquet release on operation side. The contralateral ankle stands as control. Results: The mean preoperative temperature (in Celsius) of ankle control side and operated side were 33.03 (SD=1.65) and 33.26 (SD=1.42), respectively. The mean ankle temperature on operation side was 19.73 (SD=2.85), 30.49 (SD=2), and 32.43 (SD=1.31) at 1, 10, and 20 minutes post tourniquet release, respectively, while the control side showed a mean temperature of 32.85 (SD=1.42), 32.84 (SD=0.91), and 33.15 (SD=0.95) at the same time intervals. There was a significant statistical difference between both ankle temperatures at 1 and 10 minutes (P=0.00 for each time). At 20 minutes, 37 ankles (80.4%) at operation side reached a temperature level similar but below the level of control side; however, the difference was not significant (P=0.692). Conclusion: Infrared thermography using the smartphone-connected camera is a simple, non-invasive, feasible, and reliable technology. It provides an objective measure to assess the perfusion status of the limbs. In TKA, the distal limb will reach full reperfusion status after approximately 20 minutes of tourniquet release.

“…The complications of infusion include phlebitis, hematoma, infiltration, thrombophlebitis, air embolism (Chang, Chen, Wang, & Wang, n.d.). Phlebitis itself is an inflammatory reaction that occurs in veins that are painful, reddish, swollen, hot, induration (hardening) in the puncture area, and hardening along the veins (Doesburg et al, 2019). Phlebitis is characterized by redness of the puncture area, pain, swelling, hardening or induration, hardening of the veins, and heat (Lee et al, 2019).…”

Background: Intravenous therapy is a procedure in hospital services given to inpatients, giving intravena therapy can cause complications, one of them is phlebitis. Phlebitis is an inflammation of the venous blood vessels characterized by pain, redness, swelling, and even cuts in the stabbing area. Factors that affect the occurrence of phlebitis include the type of intravenous fluids used. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of long-attached infusion with phlebitis occurrence. Methodology: The method in this research is analytic survey by using cross sectional approach that observation only done once according to time determined by researcher by looking at the relation between dependent variable and independent. Population in this research is all hospitalized patient which infused. Sampling in this study using proportional random sampling technique that 55 patients. Findings: The result of the study showed that the duration of infusion was mostly categorized > 3 days as many as 32 people (58,2%) and phlebitis incidence mostly categorized phlebitis that was 31 people (56,4%). Based on the result of the data analysis above, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the duration of infusion and the incidance of phlebitis because the value α> ρ value (0,05> 0,001) and χ2 count> χ2 table (15,018> 3,841). Research Limitation: Futher research can be developed by carrying out more specific studies regarding the long association with the incidence of infusion and phlebitis. Originality: The diferent from previous research, name, in the research method, research instrument, time, and the title is taken.

“…Aan de hand van een voorbeeld, waarbij het doel is flebitis in een vroeg stadium te kunnen onderkennen, wordt in dit artikel het belang van deze methode toegelicht. 1 de kwaliteit van de zorg verder te vergroten. Dat heeft voordelen voor de patiënt, maar zou ook tot taakverlichting kunnen leiden bij verpleegkundigen.…”
