Intra-operative temperature monitoring with cutaneous zero-heat- flux-thermometry in comparison with oesophageal temperature: A prospective study in the paediatric population Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
Background: Maintenance of thermal homeostasis is of crucial importance in the anesthetized pediatric patient. Gold-standard methods for central core temperature measurement are however inappropriately invasive and impractical in daily practice. The SpotOn sensor uses zero-heat-flux thermometry technology and claims to bypass the invasiveness of classical methods and still accurately display central core temperatures. Up to date no formal ...
