C1 noun Formal

monothermal

/ˌmɒnəʊˈθɜːrməl/

A clinical procedure or state characterized by a single temperature, most commonly used in audiology to refer to a caloric test performed with either warm or cold irrigation alone. It is used as a screening tool to assess the balance system of the inner ear more quickly than standard two-temperature tests.

1

The patient underwent a monothermal to see if more extensive testing was required.

The patient had a single-temperature test to determine if further examination was necessary.

2

Current clinical guidelines suggest that a monothermal caloric test can effectively screen for vestibular weakness.

Modern medical rules indicate that a single-temperature heat test can identify balance issues in the ear.

3

I'll just run a monothermal first; it's faster and usually gives us the answer we need.

I will perform a one-temperature test initially because it is quicker and often provides the necessary results.

Frequentemente confundido com

monothermal vs isothermal

Isothermal refers to a process where temperature remains constant over time, whereas monothermal refers to the use of a single temperature level for a specific test.

monothermal vs bithermal

Bithermal involves two different temperatures (usually warm and cold), while monothermal uses only one.

Notas de uso

The word is almost exclusively used in medical and scientific contexts, particularly in audiology. While it often functions as an adjective, it is frequently used as a noun in clinical shorthand to refer to the test itself.

⚠️

Erros comuns

Learners might confuse it with 'isothermal' when describing weather or physical environments; keep 'monothermal' for specific diagnostic procedures or specialized thermal systems.
