| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-CLUSTER.sensation_finding.v0 |
|---|
| Concept | Sensation finding |
|---|
| Description | The observed response to applying a light touch, pain or temperature stimulus to an identified area of skin. |
|---|
| Use | Use to record the observed response to applying a light touch, pain or temperature stimulus to an identified area of skin, usually a dermatome or dermatome group.
This archetype has been specifically designed to be used in the 'Examination detail' SLOT within the OBSERVATION.exam or the CLUSTER.exam-nervous_system archetype. It can also be nested within any other relevant OBSERVATION or Physical examination-related family of CLUSTER archetypes, where clinically appropriate.
In clinical scenarios requiring documentation of the sensory responses in more than one area of skin or modality, use a separate instance of this archetype for each area/modality pair tested. |
|---|
| Misuse | Not to be used to record the sensory response to vibration applied to a bony prominence - use the CLUSTER.vibration_finding for this purpose.
Not to be used to record the most caudal sensory level in response to applying a light touch, pain or temperature stimulus - use the CLUSTER.sensory_level for this purpose. |
|---|
| Purpose | To record the observed response to applying a light touch, pain or temperature stimulus to an identified area of skin. |
