Description
Nada Ismaiel and four colleagues compare three ways to take temperature during planned cesarean births, in a twenty twenty-five quality study. Anesthesia can let mothers grow too cold, which harms recovery. Thirty patients had temperature read at three points in surgery by a bladder catheter probe, a mouth probe, and a skin probe. All patients got standard warming care.
The mouth and bladder readings agreed best with each other. Skin readings agreed poorly with both. Rates of low temperature differed wildly by method: none by mouth, a tenth by skin, and over a quarter by bladder. The authors say the choice of site changes who counts as too cold.
