Validation of the Zero-Heat-Flux thermometer (SpotOn ®) in major gynecological surgery to monitor intraoperative core temperature: a comparative study with esophageal core temperature.

CONCLUSIONS: We found a high overall correlation between the SpotOn® and the esophageal probe, with negligible differences and almost perfect agreement. The warming system used, time of measurement, and thermic status appear to influence the level of correlation, but these differences were not clinically significant.
