What is the normal transcutaneous measurement temperature range?

The normal transcutaneous measurement temperature range is typically around 43-45 degrees Celsius. This range is relevant in clinical settings where monitoring a patient's temperature continuously using transcutaneous sensors is essential for assessing their physiological status.

Transcutaneous monitoring involves the use of electrodes placed on the skin, which measure the temperature of the skin as a reflection of core body temperature. The higher temperature range accounts for potential variations due to environmental factors and individual differences, making it a critical parameter for accurately assessing and responding to a patient's needs. This is particularly important in critically ill patients or during procedures where precise temperature management is required to avoid hypothermia or hyperthermia.

Choosing a temperature range outside of 43-45 degrees Celsius could lead to misinterpretation of a patient's thermal status, which can have significant implications on their management and treatment outcomes.
