| dc.description.abstract | To evaluate the effects of physical methods of reducing body temperature (ice pack and warm compression) in critically ill patients with fever. A randomized clinical trial involving 102 adult patients with tympanic temperature ≥ 38.3°C of an infectious focus, and randomized into three groups: Intervention I - ice pack associated with antipyretic; Intervention II - warm compress associated with antipyretic; and Control - antipyretic. Tympanic temperature was measured at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours. The effect of the interventions was evaluated through the Mann-Whitney test and Survival Analysis. "Effect size" calculation was carried out. Patients in the intervention groups I and II presented greater reduction in body temperature. The group of patients receiving intervention I presented tympanic temperature below 38.3°C at 45 minutes of monitoring, while the value for control group was lower than 38.3°C starting at 60 minutes, and those who received intervention II had values lower than 38.3°C at 75 minutes of monitoring. No statistically significant difference was found between the interventions, but with the intervention group I patients showed greater reduction in tympanic temperature compared to the other groups.

Ensayo clínico randomizado con 102 pacientes adultos y temperatura timpánica ≥ 38,3°C de foco infeccioso, aleatorizados en tres grupos: Intervención I ‒ bolsa de hielo asociada con antitérmico; Intervención II ‒ compresa tibia asociada con antitérmico; y Control ‒ antitérmico. La temperatura timpánica fue medida en intervalos de 15 minutos durante 3 horas. El efecto de las intervenciones fue evaluado por la prueba Mann-Whitney y Análisis de Supervivencia. Se hizo el cálculo del "Effect size". Los pacientes de los grupos Intervención I y II presentaron mayor reducción en la temperatura corporal. A partir de 45 minutos de seguimiento el grupo de pacientes que recibió la Intervención I presentó valor de la temperatura timpánica inferior a 38,3°C; los del grupo control, valor menor que 38,3°C a partir de 60 minutos; y los que recibieron la Intervención II, valor menor que 38,3°C con 75 minutos de seguimiento. No fue encontrada diferencia estadística significativa entre las intervenciones, sin embargo los pacientes del grupo Intervención I presentaron mayor reducción de la temperatura timpánica con relación a los demás grupos.
