Comparative Study
[Bladder temperature versus tympanic temperature in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery].
Inaccurate measurements of body temperature might be associated with complications during the perioperative period. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare the bladder temperature and the tympanic membrane temperature in patients undergoing open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. ⋯ The tympanic membrane might be a reliable site for core body temperature measurement in abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery patients.
