Trial summary

In this study, we aim to compare the core temperature measured with two noninvasive ZHF thermometers and a urinary bladder thermometer against a gold standard blood temperature measured in the pulmonary artery in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Accuracy and Precision of a Zero Heat Flux Thermometer (SpotOnTM) Versus Pulmonary Artery Temperature Measurement in Patients Undergoing On-pump Heart Surgery: a Prospective, Multicentre, Observational Study.

In this study, we aim to compare the core temperature measured with two noninvasive ZHF thermometers and a urinary bladder thermometer against a gold standard blood temperature measured in the pulmonary artery in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery. Additionally we intend to compare the reproducibility of the ZHF measurements by using two devices simultaneously in each patient.

Read the detailed description

Anesthesia will be induced with fentanyl, propofol and rocuronium and maintained with sevoflurane and fentanyl or sevoflurane and remifentanil infusion. Hypotension after induction of anesthesia will be treated primarily with phenylephrine or ephedrine and secondarily with norepinephrine infusion.

After induction of anesthesia a PAC (Edwards Lifescience, Thermodilution Paceport Catheter 931F75, 7.5F (2.5 mm) 110 cm) will be inserted in the pulmonary artery and connected to a Vigilance 2-monitor. Core temperature at the tip of the PAC will be measured every minute and displayed on the monitor. Two SpotOn™ ZHF temperature monitoring probes (3M, Model 370 Temperature Monitoring System, St. Paul, MN) will be fixed on the skin of the left and right side of the forehead above the eyebrow before induction of anesthesia. These devices also measured core temperature every minute and displayed the values on two display screens. In addition a temperature-sensing indwelling urinary catheter (CovidienTM, Mon-a-ThermTM, Foly Catheter with temperature sensor 400TM) will be placed after induction of anesthesia to allow continuous drainage of urine and continuous measurement of body temperature.

Core temperatures measured by PAC, ZHF-thermometer and bladder thermometer will be recorded with an interval of 1 minute.

In all patients the core temperature are allowed to drop until going on CPB. There will be no no external warming or infusion warming before CPB. At initiation of CPB measurements will stop because during CPB core temperatures measured with PAC does not produce an accurate estimate of core temperature.

    Measured: Perioperatively

  2. ZHF temperature left side versus PAC temperature.

    ZHF temperature measured on the left side of the forehead versus PAC temperature.

    Measured: Perioperatively

  3. ZHF temperature right side versus ZHF temperature left side

    ZHF temperature measured on the right side of the forehead versus ZHF temperature measured on the left side of the forehead

    Measured: Perioperatively

  4. Bladder temperature versus PAC temperature

    Bladder temperature versus PAC temperature

    Measured: Perioperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Temperature Monitoring and Cardiac Surgical Procedures, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 17 Mar 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 Denmark. 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?

ZHF temperature right side versus PAC temperature. (time frame: Perioperatively). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Mar 2023.
