About this study

Core temperature should be monitored under general anesthesia. Recently developed 3M Spoton skin temeprature which is applied on temporal artery is correlated with core temperature measure by esophageal prove in several studies. Conventional skin temperature over carotid artery is also correlated with core temperature in several studies. The purpose of this study is comparing 3 methods of temperature monitoring. First, conventional core temperature measure by esophageal stethoscope. Second, 3M Spoton applying on temporal artery. Third, 3M Spoton applying on carotid artery

Read the detailed description

Core temperature should be monitored under general anesthesia. Because patients are prone to hypothermia during surgery. Conventional core temperature is monitored at esophagus, rectum, nasopharynx. But some of them are invasive and impossible in sometimes. Recently developed 3M Spoton skin temeprature which is applied on temporal artery is correlated with core temperature measured by esophageal prove in several studies. Its mechanism is making zero heat flux on skin applied. But it also cannot apply in head or facial surgery. Other studies showed conventional skin temperature over carotid artery is also correlated with core temperature. The investigators hypothesized using Spoton on carotid artery could be alternative method measuring core temperature. The purpose of this study is comparing 3 methods of temperature monitoring. First, conventional core temperature measure by esophageal stethoscope. Second, 3M Spoton applying on temporal artery. Third, 3M Spoton applying on carotid artery

Being tested
Esophagus temperature monitoring, Spoton Temporal, Spoton Carotid

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Temperature and General Anesthesia, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact In Kyong Yi, MD (+82312197522, lyrin01@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Esophageal core temperature measured by stethoscope ℃ (time frame: 3 hours (during general anesthesia)). The study lists 3 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 6 Mar 2023.
