Accuracy of zero-heat-flux thermometry and bladder temperature measurement in critically ill patients

Abstract Core temperature (TCore) monitoring is essential in intensive care medicine. Bladder temperature is the standard of care in many institutions, but not possible in all patients. We therefore compared core temperature measured with a zero-heat flux thermometer (TZHF) and with a bladder cathet...
