Primary outcome
14 skin temperatures
rectal temperature
wound surface temperature
Secondary outcome
Afterwards, the measured temperatures will be compared to the prediction of the
computer model developed at the Technical University of Eindhoven.
Background summary
At the Technical University of Eindhoven, efforts are made to develop a
computer model with which temperatures of patients can be predicted during
surgery. Until now the model concentrated on predictions of patients that
undergo open heart surgery. Temperature measurements taken during cardiac
surgery were compared to model predictions. Good agreement was found. Now, we
want to test the model also for other types of surgery. We are especially
interested in interventions with larger incisions, as we then also can check if
the temperature of the wound surface can be predicted well by the model.
Study objective
Obtain transient temperature data of the skin, core and wound surface during
orthopedic back surgery in order to validate the numerical model developed at
the Technical University of Eindhoven for this type of surgery.
Study design
8 patients will be asked to participate in this study. The following
measurements take place:
- determination of body characteristics: height, weight and fat percentage at
the evening before the surgery. ALso hip and wast circumference will be
measured.
-14 skin temperature sensors will be attached with tape to the skin, during
surgery
- four times per hour pictures will be taken from the wound surface with the
help of an infrared camera. The surgery will not be disturbed or delayed by
this.
- Core temperature data (this parameter is measured standard) will be stored.
No extra manoeuvre is needed for that. Normally, the data is destroyed after
surgery, but now it will be stored.
- All sensors are removed at the end of the surgery
Study burden and risks
Burden: low.
Risk: no risk.
