Acronym:
TAT
Brief Summary:
Evaluate the reliability and validity of temperature measurements using an existing Health Canada-approved non-invasive temporal artery thermometer and comparing results to an established invasive gold standard esophageal probe in order to assess reliability of this non-invasive method to measure core body temperature in the setting of patients undergoing inter-facility patient transport by land rotor-wing and fixed-wing transport vehicles
Detailed Description:
Interfacility patient transport can put the patient at risk a drop in body temperature This drop can harmful to patients with particular illnesses trauma stroke post cardiac arrest and the very young or old Measuring temperature and preventing temperature drops are challenging in the transport setting The temporal artery thermometer TAT is widely available easy to use non-invasive way to measure body temperature TAT is believed to be a good tool for paramedics to measure body temperature in the transport setting However the evidence on reliability and validity of TAT-derived temperature measurements is lacking because the TAT has not been evaluated in the transport setting The goal of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the TAT device and compare measures of temperature with an established standard in a broad range of patients undergoing interfacility transport by land ambulance and rotor- and fixed-wing aircraft
