Forehead sensor versus standard probes for temperature monitoring in the ICU
This study tests a new, non-invasive forehead sensor for continuous temperature monitoring compared to standard probes placed in the bladder, esophagus, or rectum. It aims to see if the forehead sensor is just as accurate and more comfortable for patients needing temperature control after a brain injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 0 and 18 years old.
- You are in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and need continuous temperature monitoring.
- You will be enrolled within 24 hours of starting continuous temperature monitoring.
- Your forehead skin is healthy and has enough space for the sensor.
- You have no planned surgery in the next 72 hours.
- You are expected to need temperature management for at least 24 hours at the time of consent.

This study tests a new temperature-sensing patch placed on the neck to see if it matches the standard temperatures taken from the esophagus and bladder during surgery. If accurate, it could offer a less invasive way to monitor temperature.
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
This trial compares the accuracy and safety of a new electronic thermometer (XST600) with an existing one (3M SpotOn) for measuring core body temperature in adult patients in the operating room or intensive care unit. If accurate, it might offer an alternative for continuous temperature monitoring.
This trial tests a wearable device that continuously measures your body temperature while you are in the hospital. It may help doctors track fever or temperature changes caused by infections or other illnesses.
This study tests a new sensor that measures brain pressure from outside the head. It is for people who are already in the hospital getting their brain pressure and blood pressure monitored continuously.
This study compares three different ways to measure your body temperature during surgery. It aims to see if a simple ear thermometer and a skin sensor work as well as the standard nose probe, so patients may have more comfortable and accurate temperature monitoring in the future.
