Determination of comparative skin temperature: emergency diagnosis of internal bleeding in the upper and lower limbs

Abstract

It is known that a traumatic shock caused by a mechanical force that would disrupt the structural homeostasis of tissues, in most cases damages the blood vessels. This in turn causes internal bleeding, which is often not visible to the naked eye. Consequently homeostatic imbalance occurs which leads to a set of diseases with serious consequences (failure nutrients, O2 failure, necrosis). The working principle of the device tested in this study consists of reception by temperature sensors of thermal signals from the limbs.
