Primary outcomePrimary: The Bias Between Temperature Measured by Drager Double-sensor vs Core Temperature — -0.01; -0.13 Celsius degree
Summary
Our primary hypothesis is that the Draeger dual-sensor temperature monitoring system, used at the forehead, is sufficiently accurate compared to tympanic, bladder or esophageal temperature and oral temperature for routine clinical use during hypothermic conditions, as well as during fever.
