Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this observational study is to review whether postoperative infections can be detected earlier by a continuous measurement of body temperature of patients compared to single daily measurements. Within 25 weeks 100 patients, which underwent visceral surgery less than 48h ago, will be included. A patch (Steadytemp ®) will be attached to participants, continuously measuring the body temperature. In addition infection parameters and medication of the participants will be documented.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Steadytemp®
Steadytemp® is a clinical thermometer intended to continuously measure axillary temperature and to display relative changes in axillary temperature to the user. The system consists of a sensor patch and a smartphone application, the body temperature measured by the sensor is transmitted via Near-Field-Communication (NFC) and subsequently displayed in the App.
