“…Although very few researchers have used this technology with extremely premature infants, infrared imaging offers a way to capture temperature differentials over the entire body surface. This technology offers researchers and clinicians many uses when differential perfusion is in question such as with skin ulcers, skin cancer, and compartment syndrome (Katz et al, 2008; Knobel et al, 2011) and has future potential in guiding clinicians caring for infants with intestinal perfusion problems such as with necrotizing enterocolitis (Rice et al, 2010). More research studies are needed with infrared imaging and clinical conditions.…”

Background Hypothermia is a problem for very premature infants after birth and leads to increased morbidity and mortality. Previously we found very premature infants exhibit abnormal thermal patterns, keeping foot temperatures warmer than abdominal temperatures for their first 12 hours of life. Purpose We explored the utility of infrared thermography as a non-invasive method for measuring body temperature in premature infants in an attempt to regionally examine differential temperatures. Results Our use of infrared imaging to measure abdominal and foot temperature for extremely premature infants in heated, humid incubators was successful and in close agreement using Bland and Altman technique with temperatures measured by skin thermistors. Conclusions Our study methods demonstrated that it was feasible to capture full body temperatures of extremely premature infants while they were resting in a heated, humid incubator using a Flir SC640 infrared camera. This technology offers researchers and clinicians a method to examine acute changes in perfusion differentials in premature infants which may lead to morbidity.

“…At a constant ambient temperature, temperature of the tail is essentially proportional to tail blood flow. A noninvasive measurement of tail skin temperature by IR thermography is an ideal means of estimating tail blood flow (Vianna and Carrive, 2005;Katz et al, 2008).…”

Background: The marked improvement in outcome following induction of hypothermia after cardiac arrest has spurred the search for better methods to induce cooling. A regulated decrease in core temperature mediated by a drug-induced reduction in the set point for thermoregulation may be an ideal means of inducing hypothermia. To this end, the exploratory drug HBN-1 was assessed as a means to induce mild and prolonged hypothermia. Methods: Free moving rats were infused i.v. for 12 hours with: a vehicle at room temperature (normothermia), a vehicle chilled to 4°C (forced hypothermia), or HBN-1 (mixture of ethanol, lidocaine, and vasopressin) at room temperature. Core (intra-abdominal) temperature (T c ) was measured telemetrically, tail skin temperature (T tail ) by infrared thermography, metabolic rate (MR) was estimated with indirect calorimetery, and shivering was scored visually. Results: HBN-1 elicited a reduction in T c from 37.5°C to 34°C within 80 minutes after initiation of the infusion; T c was maintained between 33°C and 34°C for more than 13 hours. HBN-1 infusion was associated with a reduction in MR ( p = 0.0006), a slight reduction in T tail , and no evidence of shivering ( p < 0.001). The forced hypothermia group displayed shivering ( p < 0.001), a significant increase in MR, and a decrease in T tail , indicative of peripheral vasoconstriction to reduce heat loss. Conclusion: HBN-1 infusion induced a mild and prolonged hypothermia in free moving, unanesthetized rats characterized by modulation of thermoeffectors to reduce heat gain and increase heat loss. HBN-1 thus appears to elicit regulated hypothermia and may provide a new method for achieving a prolonged state of therapeutic hypothermia.

Infrared imaging of trauma patients for detection of acute compartment syndrome of the leg*

Abstract: Infrared imaging detected a difference in surface temperature between the proximal and distal leg of patients who developed compartment syndrome. This technology holds promise as a supportive tool for the early detection of acute compartment syndrome in trauma patients.
