- Core temperature indicates the temperature of internal organs, which is crucial for diagnosing and treating temperature-related issues in patients.
- Current methods for measuring core temperature vary in accuracy, leading to ongoing discussions about the best anatomical site for measurement.
- While pulmonary artery catheter measurements are considered the gold standard, esophageal temperature assessment is also seen as a practical alternative in clinical practice.
Article Abstract
Core temperature reflects the temperature of the internal organs. Proper temperature measurement is essential to diagnose and treat temperature impairment in patients. However, an accurate approach has yet to be established. Depending on the method used, the obtained values may vary and differ from the actual core temperature. There is an ongoing debate regarding the most appropriate anatomical site for core temperature measurement. Although the measurement of body core temperature through a pulmonary artery catheter is commonly cited as the gold standard, the esophageal temperature measurement appears to be a reasonable and functional alternative in the clinical setting. This article provides an integrative review of invasive and noninvasive body temperature measurements and their relations to core temperature.
