Temperature measurements of a wearable and wireless axillary sensor iThermonitor but not a bladder probe represents the core temperature during laparoscopic rectal surgery

Wearable Devices in Colorectal Surgery: A Scoping Review

“…Additionally, noninvasive monitoring devices like connected bracelets for step-count measurement and the AGIS biosensors show potential in predicting postoperative complications, aiding in early identification and management [19,21]. The TL-300 for BP monitoring and the iThermonitor for temperature monitoring illustrate the potential to transition to wearable devices to measure physical parameters with accuracy intraoperatively [20,27].…”

“…The search strategy yielded a total of 1525 studies. Following deduplication, 1253 were screened, resulting in 104 studies for full text review, 20 of which were included in this review (Figure 1) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Table 1 summarises key study characteristics.…”

“…It was demonstrated that TL-300 may be an acceptable alternative to invasive BP monitoring, according to ANSI/AAMI standards. Dai et al [27] assessed intraoperative temperature measurement, comparing the accuracy of the iThermonitor wireless axillary sensor with a bladder probe in laparoscopic rectal surgery patients. They demonstrated iThermonitor to be significantly more accurate compared to the bladder probe and sufficiently accurate for intraoperative temperature measurement, with 95.21% of measurements being within ±0.5 • C of the reference core temperature, measured with a distal oesophageal probe.…”
