Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Monitoring of intraoperative core temperature is essential for patient safety, reducing the risk of perioperative hypothermia. A recently developed measuring system, SpotOn® (3M, St. Paul, MN), measures the core temperature in a non-invasive manner. Its accuracy in patients undergoing general surgery has not been investigated yet. The study was aimed at comparing the accuracy of the SpotOn® in comparison with the oesophageal probe which is considered the current standard in our care units.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Monitoring of intraoperative core temperature is essential for patient safety, reducing the risk of perioperative hypothermia. A recently developed measuring system, SpotOn® (3M, St. Paul, MN), measures the core temperature in a non-invasive manner. Its accuracy in patients undergoing general surgery has not been investigated yet. The study was aimed at comparing the accuracy of the SpotOn® in comparison with the oesophageal probe which is considered the current standard in our care units. In this study, patients who were candidates for major or urological surgery will be considered eligible for enrollment. The core body temperature will be thus measured with both a single-use oesophageal probe and a SpotOn® heated controlled servo sensor.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Surgical patients

Patients who were candidates for major or urological surgery under general anaesthesia will be observed. In particular, the core body temperature will be measured with both a single-use oesophageal probe and a SpotOn® heated controlled servo sensor.

temperature monitoring

Intervention Type DEVICE

In every patient observed in this prospective observational study, body core temperature will be contemporaneously monitored through the oesophageal probe and the heated controlled servo sensor. Both are routinely used for this purpose in clinical practice
