Evaluation of the Reliability of Oesophageal Temperature in THOracic Surgery

Completed

• Conditions: Thoracic Neoplasm; Anesthesia; Hypothermia
• Interventions: Other: Temperature recording

• Registration Number: NCT03903991
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Tours

Brief Summary

Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

Detailed Description

Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

The investigators therefore decided to evaluate the reliability of the oesophageal temperature in open chest lung surgery by comparing it to the continuous tympanic temperature.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Thoracotomy	Temperature recording	All patients needing pulmonary surgery under thoracotomy

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Correlation between tympanic and oesophageal temperature.	up to 1 day (during the surgery)	Evaluate the correlation existing between the tympanic temperature, reflection of the central temperature without variation with an open thorax, and oesophageal temperature subject to changes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Difference of correlation between tympanic and oesophageal temperature during left and right thoracotomy.	up to 1day (during the surgery)	Evaluate the correlation existing between the tympanic temperature, reflection of the central temperature without variation with an open thorax, and oesophageal temperature subject to changes.
