Brief summary
Observational study to compare core temperatures obtained by 6 methods in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Detailed description
This study compares the core temperatures obtained by means of different probes placed in nasopharinx, pulmonary artery, arterial outlet, venous inlet, bladder and forehead in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
Interventions
Monitoring core temperatures with probes placed in the arterial outlet and venous inlet of extracorporeal pump, pulmonary artery, bladder, nasopharinx and forehead using a doublé-sensor probe

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Only patients requiring a pulmonary artery catheter were included.
Exclusion criteria
* Sepsis or previous fever. * Previous bladder catheter without termistor * Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 24 temperature measures per patient recorded at 5-min intervals for each method and averaged using the Bland-Altman method for repeated measures | Agreement between core temperatures obtained in arterial CPB output versus venous inlet of CPB, bladder, pulmonary artery, nasopharynx and forehead (Tcore). The measurements were compared between the different methods using the Bland-Altman method of repeated measures and expressed as mean difference (reference method-alternative method) plus CI95%. |

Outcome results
Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods
Agreement between core temperatures obtained in arterial CPB output versus venous inlet of CPB, bladder, pulmonary artery, nasopharynx and forehead (Tcore). The measurements were compared between the different methods using the Bland-Altman method of repeated measures and expressed as mean difference (reference method-alternative method) plus CI95%.
Time frame: 24 temperature measures per patient recorded at 5-min intervals for each method and averaged using the Bland-Altman method for repeated measures
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Arterial Outlet | Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 35.0 celsius degrees (mean difference) |
| Nasopharyngeal | Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 35.2 celsius degrees (mean difference) |
| Bladder | Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 35.6 celsius degrees (mean difference) |
| Tcore | Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 34.8 celsius degrees (mean difference) |
| Venous Inflow | Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods | 34.8 celsius degrees (mean difference) |
