Thermal images are obtained using infrared cameras that capture the radiation emitted by the skin. Thermal images can be used to: prevention of developing a pressure ulcer (PU) in hospitalized individuals, the clinical monitoring of postoperative patients for Deep Vein Thrombosis, monitoring the skin temperature of the surgical scar can help to prospectively determine whether an area of the skin will evolve into necrosis, and to search for signs and symptoms of phlebitis and infiltration. In this sense, the acquisition of this kind of equipment for use in nursing services is quite feasible, whether in intensive care units, intermediate care units or even in postoperative inpatient units. El objetivo de este texto fue describir las posibilidades del uso de imágenes térmicas en la práctica de enfermería. Las imágenes térmicas se obtienen utilizando cámaras infrarrojas que capturan la radiación emitida por la piel. Las imágenes térmicas se pueden usar para: la prevención del desarrollo de una úlcera por presión (PU) en individuos hospitalizados, el monitoreo clínico de pacientes postoperatorios para trombosis venosa profunda, el monitoreo de la temperatura de la piel de la cicatriz quirúrgica puede ayudar a determinar prospectivamente si un área de la piel evolucionará a necrosis y buscará signos y síntomas de flebitis e infiltración. En este sentido, la adquisición de este tipo de equipos para su uso en servicios de enfermería es bastante factible, ya sea en unidades de cuidados intensivos, unidades de cuidados intermedios o incluso en unidades de hospitalización postoperatorias. O objetivo deste texto foi descrever as possibilidades de uso da imagem térmica na prática de enfermagem. As imagens térmicas são obtidas usando câmeras de infravermelho que capturam a radiação emitida pela pele. As imagens térmicas podem ser usadas para: prevenção do desenvolvimento de úlcera por pressão (UP) em indivíduos hospitalizados, monitoramento clínico de pacientes no pós-operatório de trombose venosa profunda, monitoramento da temperatura da pele da cicatriz cirúrgica pode ajudar a determinar prospectivamente se uma área da pele evoluirá para necrose e buscará sinais e sintomas de flebite e infiltração. Nesse sentido, a aquisição desse tipo de equipamento para uso em serviços de enfermagem é bastante viável, seja em unidades de terapia intensiva, unidades de cuidados intermediários ou mesmo em unidades de internação no pós-operatório.
