Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Conduct basic research of the distribution pattern of skin temperature and estimate the wound depth in normal Chinese in the early stage of burn injury by using technical thermography. METHODS: (1) Two hundred twenty-three volunteers from the electrical power system were randomly chosen: 138 males and 85 females, mean age 42.5 +/- 8.8, and mean weight 65.37 +/- 9.7 kg. (2) Thermovision 470 Pro camera of AGEMA Corporation, Sweden, was used. (3) A total of 29,882 values of skin temperature from all over the body were classified, compared, and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: The difference in temperature on the y-axis of the body is relatively significant, from 0 to 9 degrees C. The difference in temperature on the x-axis of the body is relatively invariable. CONCLUSIONS: The depth of early burn wound can be detected by using infrared thermography, which is an objective, fast, non-touching, and noninvasive method.
