Measurement of horse core body temperature. Master of science in bae degree awarded. May 2004 author major professor department head angela green drrichard s. The results from this study illustrate that multiple physiological parameters eg. Body temperature is one of the four main vital signs that must be monitored to ensure safe and effective care. And the telemetry based system for measuring gt applied in this study is an acceptable alternative method for monitoring core body temperature in horses. Rossi in protective clothing 2014.
The diurnal cbt average minimum and maximum were 380 376 and 385c respectively. However this is only possible up to a certain body mass and this type of measurement also takes a long time. Temperature measurement is recommended by the national institute of clinical excellence a part of the initial assessment in acute illness in adults nice 2007 and by the scottish intercollegiate guidelines network guidelines for post operative management in adults sign. An investigation of core temperature measurement in horses concluded that gastrointestinal temperature was an acceptable site for core temperature measurement green et al 2005 and validation. The normal axillary temperature range is approximately between 347 c and 373 c. Ab horse core body temperature cbt was monitored by three methods to compare three distinct.
In addition the physiological measurements chosen in this study and the algorithm defined in this work are potentially applicable as real time core body temperature monitoring to assess health risk in broad range of working. The direct invasive measurement of deep body temperature is not possible in normal working conditions for practical reasons rectal or oesophageal sensors or low accuracy in the field tympanic 119 or oral sensors. In adult patients the temperature of an axillary measurement is lower than a rectal measurement up to 19 c. And the telemetry based system for measuring gt applied in this study is an acceptable alternative method for monitoring core body temperature in horses. The diurnal cbt average minimum and maximum were 380 376 and 385 c respectively. The elevation of core body temperature is the best indicator for upcoming heat stress.
Core temperature is normally maintained within a narrow range so that essential enzymatic reactions can occur. Skin temperature and skin heat fluxes are needed to predict core body temperature. Core temperature also called core body temperature is the operating temperature of an organism specifically in deep structures of the body such as the liver in comparison to temperatures of peripheral tissues. Up to now core body temperature could only be measured continuosly using invasive methods like thermometers probes and electronic pills and under very specific circumstances such a lab or a hospitalcore is the first wearable device that allows to continuosly and accurately measure the core body temperature under living conditions.
