Comparing temperature monitors during surgery
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You are having heart, lung (chest), or general/abdominal surgery (including brain surgery) that requires general anesthesia (you are fully asleep).
- Your surgery is expected to last at least 1 hour.
- You are in relatively good health overall (classified as ASA I to III).
- You do not have conditions like prior nose surgery, ear infections, eardrum problems, or skin issues on your face or forehead that would interfere with temperature monitors.
- You can provide written consent to take part.

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 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 study checks if keeping your body temperature steady during lung surgery (using a special monitor) helps reduce pain after the operation. It may also lower the risk of complications.
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.
This study aims to predict which children might get too cold during surgery under general anesthesia lasting more than 30 minutes. It's trying to create a simple checklist to help doctors keep kids warm and safe.
This study tests a method to keep the body temperature stable during long abdominal surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
