Hi all,

In a FR patient's hospital report, we are told the following:

Patient conscious but disorientated, Glasgow Coma Scale 14
Haemodynamically stable, fever 38 °C.
BP: 100/59, pulse 87 T: 39 Sat: 99

I would like some help understanding T, please. I don't see how it could be tension (pressure)...

Thanks.

agree  philgoddard: This seems likely, but then why does it also say 'fever 38'? Does that mean they define fever as 38?
