Quantifying and Trending the Thermal Signal as an Index of Perfusion in Patients Sedated with Propofol

Quantifying and Trending the Thermal Signal as an Index of Perfusion in Patients Sedated with Propofol

We examined the feasibility of a thermal imager smart phone attachment as a potential proxy of skin perfusion by assessing shifts in skin temperature following administration of the vasodilatory anesthetic propofol. Four limb distal extremity thermal images were taken before propofol administration...
