T
In a FR patient's hospital report, we are told the following:
Patient conscious but disorientated, Glasgow Coma Scale 14
Haemodynamically stable, fever 38 °C.
BP: 100/59, pulse 87 T: 39 Sat: 99
I would like some help understanding T, please. I don't see how it could be tension (pressure)...
Thanks.

Nov 9, 2023 22:09: Rachel Fell changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"
Non-PRO (3): Bashiqa, Drmanu49, Rachel Fell
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The 'tension' or blood pressure is already stated at the beginning of the line, 'BP: 100/59'.
Hope this helps.

: This seems likely, but then why does it also say 'fever 38'? Does that mean they define fever as 38?

During exercise with an inspired O2 fraction of 0.21, the arterial CO2 pressure (35 +/- 1 mmHg; mean +/- SE) and O2 pressure (77 +/- 2 mmHg) as well as the haemoglobin saturation (91.9 +/- 0.7%) were reduced (P < 0.05).

There is no single agreed-upon upper limit for normal temperature: sources use values ranging between 37.2 and 38.3 °C (99.0 and 100.9 °F) in humans.

I would call 38 °C 'hyperthermia'.
