An evaluation of deep-forehead temperature (spoton®) in ICU patients after cardiac surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Core temperature is important for the safety of patients in ICU. Although blood temperature (Tbl) has been accepted as the gold standard for core temperature monitoring, it requires an invasive procedure. A recently developed new thermometer, SpotOn(3M, St. Paul, MN) that measures deep-forehead temperature (Tdf) can measure core temperature during surgery1) in a noninvasive manner. However, its accuracy in ICU patients is not known.
