Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Body temperature: continuous variable. Data collected from the tympanic thermometer and recorded in degrees Celsius by the research assistant at different times: 15 minutes before the bath, every five minutes during the bath and 15 minutes after the end of the procedure.;Heart rate: continuous variable. Data collected from the record in the cardiac monitor, portable oximeter or by direct observation of patients by the research assistant at different times: 15 minutes before the bath, every five minutes during the bath and 15 minutes after the end of the procedure.;Respiratory rate: continuous variable. Data collected from the record in the cardiac monitor, mechanical ventilator or direct observation of the patients by the research assistant at different moments: 15 minutes before the bath, every five minutes during the bath and 15 minutes after the end of the procedure. ;Transcutaneous saturation of arterial oxygen: continuous variable. Obtained by the portable oximeter and recorded by the research assistant at different times: 15 minutes before the bath, every five minutes during the bath and 15 minutes after the procedure. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Bath time in bed: continuous variable. Registered in minutes. Data collected in each bath in the bed, from the beginning of its execution to the end of the procedure. Later it will be dichotomized for the entry in the database (up to 20 minutes in duration, more than 20 minutes in duration).;Age: continuous variable. Estimated in years. Data collected in the patient's chart;Sex: categorical variable, considering male and female sex. Data collected in the patient's chart;Comorbidities: categorical variable. The patient will be classified in: with comorbidities (yes) or without comorbidities (no). The presence of comorbidities will be recorded from the data collection in the patient's chart.;Ambient temperature (T0amb): continuous variable. Data collected in each ICU in celsius degree from the thermo-hygrometer.;Environment humidity: continuous variable. Data collected in each ICU in percentage from the thermo-hygrometer.;Bath water temperature (Tág): continuous variable. Data collected in each bath bowl in celsius degree from the thermo-hygrometer, recorded regularly every five minutes, during bathing in the bed. | — |
