About this study

Comparison of four methods for measuring temperature perioperatively in patients scheduled for laparoscopic surgery and intensive care patients who are hypo-, normo-and hyper terme; Bladder Monitoring, Nasopharyngeal, SpotOn TM, Zero heat flux method and Temporal Scanner. The study is a single-center, observational study carried out by the Central Surgical and Intensive Section at Vestfold Hospital Trust.

Issues

  • Perioperative hypothermia is associated with several serious complications and therefore most likely to be avoided. Monitoring of body temperature is therefore required perioperatively .
  • There are in the literature concerns that some methods of measuring temperature perioperatively is accurate enough and whether they reflect core temperature adequate.
  • Some authors have questioned whether temporal scanner (TS ) - and nasopharynx ( NP) - measurements are accurate enough to measure the actual core temperature. Much of the research on TS measurements have been done on children and newborns in an intensive setting, but little perioperatively .

A total of 120 patients will be included ; 60 at Central Operations and 60 at Intensive Section at the Vestfold Hospital Trust. Duration of inclusion will be approximately one year . Starting around January 2014. The study emanates from Vestfold Hospital Trust and was designed by Espen Lindholm who is responsible for the project , Camilla B Norén who is principal investigator and project manager. Kjetil G Ringdal , Karl - André Wian and Knut Arvid Kirkebøen (University Hospital of Oslo ) are supervisors. The study is supported by research, Vestfold Hospital Trust and 3M Company Norway (study material ) and it is applied Regional Ethics Committee. Patients will not get different treatment than standard treatment in hospital and it causes no follow-up calls or hospital visits. All patients (if possible) give written consent for participation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Temperature difference measured with different measuring methods

    The difference in temperature between the temperature measured by the current reference method bladder temperature and the temperature measured with Temporal Scanner, SpotOn and nasopharynx through the entire operational sequence (from first to last measurement) and three individual measurements at 20 minute intervals of intensive care patients.

    Measured: Timepoints during surgery; Every 20th minute. In intensive patients: 3 measurements during 1 hour (every 20th minute)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of patients with 1) Sore after Sticker (SpotOn) 2) epistaxis during hospital stay as a measure of safety and tolerability.

    An average of 10 days

    Measured: Hospital discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypothermia and Hyperthermia, run by Sykehuset i Vestfold HF at 1 site in Norway.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Temperature difference measured with different measuring methods (time frame: Timepoints during surgery; Every 20th minute. In intensive patients: 3 measurements during 1 hour (every 20th minute)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jan 2023.
