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.

Conditions

• Hypothermia; Anesthesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Draeger double-sensor	The sensor will be attached to the patient's forehead with adhesive tape, and a small amount of contact gel will be applied between sensor and skin.
DEVICE	Esophageal stethoscope temperature sensor	Esophageal temperature is measured by sensors incorporated into an esophageal stethoscope during the surgery.
DEVICE	Foley catheter temperature sensor	Urinary bladder temperature is measured via a sensor incorporated into a Foley catheter during the surgery
