The CCC coding structure is paced on the format of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems: Tenth Revision: Volume 1, WHO, 1992.
In humans, hyperthermia is defined as a temperature greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F), depending on the reference used, that occurs without a change in the body's temperature set point. [3] [10] The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. [2]
[5] [14] Diagnosis may also require measuring intracompartmental pressure. [5] [6] Using both methods increases the accuracy of diagnosing compartment syndrome. [46] A transducer connected to a catheter is inserted 5 cm into the zone of injury to measure the intracompartmental pressure. [9] [5] Normal pressure is 10 mmHg. [5]
A nursing care plan promotes documentation and is used for reimbursement purposes such as Medicare and Medicaid. The therapeutic nursing plan is a tool and a legal document that contains priority problems or needs specific to the patient and the nursing directives linked to the problems.

Blood pressure can be measured either invasively through an inserted blood pressure transducer assembly, or noninvasively with an inflatable blood pressure cuff. Respiratory monitoring, such as: Pulse oximetry which involves measurement of the saturated percentage of oxygen in the blood, referred to as SpO2, and measured by an infrared finger cuff
Malignant hyperpyrexia, anesthesia related hyperthermia [1] Abnormalities in the ryanodine receptor 1 gene are commonly detected in people who have experienced an episode of malignant hyperthermia: Specialty: Anesthesiology, critical care medicine: Symptoms: Muscle rigidity, high body temperature, fast heart rate [1] Complications
The Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) is a care classification system which describes the activities that nurses perform as a part of the planning phase of the nursing process associated with the creation of a nursing care plan.
