Comparison of Perioperative Temperature Monitoring Sites During Elective Cesarean Deliveries: A Quality Improvement Initiative.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundImpaired thermoregulation secondary to neuraxial anesthesia during cesarean delivery (CD) can contribute to perioperative hypothermia and maternal morbidity. While temperature monitoring during CDs can detect hypothermia, the optimal temperature measurement modality for CDs under neuraxial anesthesia remains unclear. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) initiative was to compare perioperative temperature measurement modalities during CDs.
methodsThirty patients undergoing scheduled CDs were selected for this Institutional Review Board (IRB)-exempt QI initiative. Patients received standard neuraxial anesthesia and intraoperative care including active warming. Temperature measurements were taken at three perioperative time points: at skin incision, within 15 minutes after delivery of the infant(s), and at skin closure. Three modalities were used to measure temperature each time: (1) temperature-sensing Foley catheter, (2) oral temperature probe, and (3) skin temperature probe. Temperature modalities were compared using mean differences ± SD, correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman (BA) plots.
resultsThe mean difference between oral vs. skin and oral vs. bladder temperatures was 0.238°C ± 0.380°C and 0.368°C ± 0.361°C, respectively. The overall temperature correlations between oral vs. skin, oral vs. bladder, and skin vs. bladder were 0.225, 0.588, and 0.198, respectively. In the end, the percentage of hypothermic temperatures (below 36°C) by modality were 0% (oral), 10% (skin), and 26.7% (bladder).
conclusionsThe results suggest a weak correlation between oral and skin temperature measurements, and a moderate correlation between oral and bladder temperatures. These findings should be considered when evaluating hypothermia after CD to enhance patient safety and guide improvement efforts.
