About

Primary study objective is to test the accuracy of the Genius 2 tympanic thermometer and the Exergen TAT-5000(TM) temporal artery thermometer as compared with serial perioperative core temperature measurements obtained in cardiac surgical patients during cardiopulmonary bypass. Study hypothesis: The Genius 2 thermometer will display greater precision and accuracy than the Exergen TAT-5000 thermometer when compared to core body temperature in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female adult subjects greater than/equal to 18 years of age providing signed informed consent
  • Febrile or afebrile
  • Planned monitoring of core temperature at a minimum of two separate sites, one of which includes the pulmonary artery
  • Planned use of cardiopulmonary bypass for a cardiac surgical procedure.

Exclusion criteria

  • Mist tents or oxygen hoods
  • Hot or cold applications to the head
  • Patients that have the planned use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest
  • Aural anomalies (e.g., external auditory canal less than 2cm in length, persistent ear pain)
  • Any other major anomaly, surgery or medical condition precluding participation according to manufacturers' stated exclusions or in the opinion of the principal investigator
  • Blood, cerumen, excessive hair, inflammation, infection, ulceration or foreign object in the ear observed by otoscopic examination
  • Any other signs or symptoms of distress or a condition which would, or in the opinion of the principal investigator, render their participation in the study detrimental to their well-being.
  • Previous refusal or enrollment in this study
  • Previous or concurrent participation in a clinical trial of a drug or device within the past 30 days.

Trial design

33 participants in 1 patient group

Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery
Description:
Thirty to fifty cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass will have serial triplicate temperatures taken by both the Genius 2 tympanic thermometer and the Exergen-TAT 5000 temporal artery thermometer at predetermined perioperative time points. These temperature readings will be compared to at least one core temperature (i.e., pulmonary artery).
