Accuracy of non-invasive sensors measuring core body temperature in cardiac surgery ICU patients - results from a monocentric prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Temperature monitoring in the perioperative setting often represents a compromise between accuracy, invasiveness of probe placement, and patient comfort. Transcutaneous sensors using the Zero-Heat-Flux (ZHF) and Double-Sensor (DS) technology have been developed and evaluated in a variety of clinical settings. The present study is the first to compare the performance of both sensors simultaneously with temperature measured by a Swan-Ganz catheter (PAC) in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery.

Methods

In this monocentric prospective observational study patients were postoperatively transferred to the ICU and both sensors were placed on the patients' foreheads. Core body temperature measured by intraoperatively placed PAC served as go
