Can a forehead patch replace the Gold-Standard temperature probe?
NCT ID NCT07749209
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study checks whether three common ways of measuring body temperature during surgery give matching results. It compares a nasopharyngeal probe (the standard), an ear thermometer, and a forehead sensor in adults having elective surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see if the simpler devices can be used safely instead of the probe, helping prevent complications from low body temperature during operations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the devices agree closely, doctors could safely use simpler, less invasive temperature monitors during surgery, reducing discomfort and risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find that the devices do not agree well, and results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
