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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Agreement Between Different Core Temperature Methods24 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%.
