Barriers to body temperature monitoring among prehospital personnel: a qualitative study using the modified nominal group technique by Remi William Scott, Knut Fredriksen

“…Thematic analysis revealed 47 codes that were grouped together into six overarching themes, of which four described challenges to monitoring and two described potential solutions: equipment dissatisfaction, little focus on patient temperature, fear of iatrogenic complications, thermometry subordinated, more focus on temperature and simplification of thermometry.Conclusion To increase the frequency of temperature measurement on correct indication, we suggest introducing PHC protocols that specify patients and conditions where an accurate temperature measurement should have high priority. …”
