Article Synopsis
  • Monitoring core temperature is essential during general anesthesia, particularly when using a gastric decompression tube (GDT) for laparoscopic surgeries.
  • A study involving 48 patients evaluated the optimal insertion depth for a newly designed GDT that includes a thermistor, using a specific insertion formula based on anatomical distances.
  • Findings indicated that GDT temperatures correlated well with tympanic membrane temperatures, and a mathematical model was developed to accurately predict the ideal depth for GDT insertion to improve temperature monitoring.
