Özet

Objective: Inadvertent hypothermia (body temperature below 35 degrees C) is a common and avoidable challenge during surgery under anaesthesia. It is related to coagulation (clotting) disorders, an increase in blood loss, and a higher rate of wound infection. One of the methods for non-invasive monitoring of the core body temperature is the 3M SpotOn zero heat flux method. In this approach, sensors placed at the frontal region of the patient measure the skin temperature by creating an isothermic channel. The study aimed to determine the risk factors for hypothermia and compare the 3M SpotOn zero heat flux method with the tympanic membrane (eardrum) and oesophageal (food pipe) temperature measurement methods.
