Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a pilot study which aims to show the temperatures measured on body surface with an infrared thermometer on inpatients who need a central venous catheter (CVC) for medical care. Because the local temperature could be altered, at least during local infectious processes, seems to be reasonable to think that this approach could be helpful to its early diagnosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

By convenience sampling, it was expected that during 4 months, a minimum of 30 inpatients of the metabolic, clinical or intensive care wards, at the Clinical Hospital of Ribeirão Preto Medical School, São Paulo, Brazil, would have their data collected
