An observational study in Temperature Change, Body, Anesthesia and Children, Only, sponsored by Ajou University School of Medicine. Completed at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 1 Year to 5 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-09-30.

During general anesthesia, temperature monitoring is critical especially in pediatrics. Recently developed 3M™ Bair Hugger™ skin temperature which is applied on temporal artery is correlated with core temperature measure by esophageal prove in several studies. Conventional skin temperature over carotid artery is also correlated with core temperature in several studies. The purpose of this study is comparing 2 methods of temperature monitoring in pediatrics. First, conventional core temperature measure by esophageal stethoscope. Second, 3M™ Bair Hugger™ applying on carotid artery.
Core temperature should be monitored under general anesthesia. Because patients are prone to hypothermia during surgery, besides, pediatric patients are more vulnerable in temperature control. Conventional core temperature is monitored at esophagus, rectum, nasopharynx. But some of them are invasive and impossible in sometimes. Recently developed 3M™ Bair Hugger™ skin temperature which is applied on temporal artery is correlated with core temperature measured by esophageal prove in several studies. Its mechanism is making zero heat flux on skin applied. But it also cannot apply in head or facial surgery. Other studies showed conventional skin temperature over carotid artery is also correlated with core temperature. The investigators hypothesized using 3M™ Bair Hugger™ on carotid artery could be alternative method measuring core temperature. The purpose of this study is comparing 2 methods of temperature monitoring in pediatrics. First, conventional core temperature measure by esophageal stethoscope. Second, 3M™ Bair Hugger™ applying on carotid artery.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
