About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Hypothermia; Anesthesia focused on measuring surgery, thermometer, non-invasive, interoperative core temperature, anesthesia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing trauma surgery with general anesthesia
  • Patients undergoing orthopedic surgery with regional anesthesia

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Younger than 18 or older than 80 years of age
  • Have a pre-existing nasogastric tube
  • Require bispectral index monitoring
  • Upper esophageal disease
  • Forehead rash or infection
  • Oral infection or trauma

Arm Description

Temperature is measured by Draeger double-sensor and esophageal stethoscope temperature sensor every 5-min during the surgery.

Temperature is measured by Draeger double-sensor and Foley catheter temperature sensor every 5-min during the surgery.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The Bias Between Temperature Measured by Drager Double-sensor vs Core Temperature
Determine if the Drager double-sensor temperature monitoring system, used at the forehead is accurate compared to esophageal temperature for general anesthesia group and bladder temperature for regional anesthesia group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Sensitivity for Detection of Hypothermia
Hypothermia is defined as a temperature < 36 Celsius degree
Specificity for Detection of Hypothermia
Hypothermia will be defined as a temperature < 36 Celsius degree

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Our primary hypothesis is that the Draeger dual-sensor temperature monitoring system, used at the forehead, is sufficiently accurate compared to tympanic, bladder or esophageal temperature and oral temperature for routine clinical use during hypothermic conditions, as well as during fever.
Detailed Description
We will include patients undergoing general anesthesia or regional anesthesia. The temperature recorded by Draeger dual-sensor monitoring system will be obtained at 5-minute interval.
