Abstract
Continuous core body temperature measurements are made during hypothermic operations, where the core body temperature of the patient is lowered to reduce swelling. Caregivers monitor the patient's core body temperature to prevent damage that can occur to the patient if the patient's core body temperature becomes too low. To accurately determine the core body temperature of the patient, a temperature monitoring system measures the temperature at or near the surface of the patient and through at least a portion of a thermal block at multiple locations.
Claims (29)
1. A temperature monitoring system configured to be secured to a user for determining a core body temperature, the temperature monitoring system comprising:
a first temperature sensor configured to be positioned at a first location of the user's skin;
a second temperature sensor associated with the first temperature sensor;
a first material and a second material positioned between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, the first material having a first thermal conductivity and the second material having a second thermal conductivity different than the first thermal conductivity;
a third temperature sensor configured to be positioned at a second location of the user's skin; and
a third material positioned between the third temperature sensor and a fourth temperature sensor,
wherein measurements from the first, second, third, and fourth temperature sensors are used to determine the core body temperature estimate of the user.
2. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein a total thermal conductivity of the first material and the second material is based on at least the first thermal conductivity and the second thermal conductivity, wherein the total thermal conductivity is different than a thermal conductivity of the third material.
3. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the first material and the third material are a same material.
4. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the third material is different than the first material and the second material.
5. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth temperature sensors is a thermistor.
6. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein an ambient air temperature measurement is used to further refine the core body temperature estimate.
7. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 further comprising a display configured to display the core body temperature of the user.
8. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the second temperature sensor is separated from the first temperature sensor by a first distance, wherein the fourth temperature sensor is separated from the third temperature sensor by a second distance, wherein the first distance is equal to the second distance.
9. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1 wherein the second temperature sensor is separated from the first temperature sensor by a first distance, wherein the fourth temperature sensor is separated from the third temperature sensor by a second distance, wherein the first distance is different than the second distance.
10. A method of monitoring core body temperature of a user, the method comprising:
positioning a first temperature sensor at a first location of the user's skin;
thermally coupling a second temperature sensor with the first temperature sensor through a first material and a second material, the first material having a first thermal conductivity and the second material having a second thermal conductivity different than the first thermal conductivity;
positioning a third temperature sensor at a second location of the user's skin;
thermally coupling a fourth temperature sensor with the third temperature sensor through a third material; and
determining the core body temperature estimate of the user with measurements from the first, second, third, and fourth temperatures sensors.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein a total thermal conductivity of the first material and the second material is based on at least the first thermal conductivity and the second thermal conductivity, wherein the total thermal conductivity is different than a thermal conductivity of the third material.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein the first material and the third material are a same material.
13. The method of claim 10 wherein the third material is different than the first material and the second material.
14. The method of claim 10 wherein at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth temperature sensors is a thermistor.
15. The method of claim 10 further comprising refining the core body temperature estimate with an ambient air temperature measurement.
16. The method of claim 10 further comprising displaying the core body temperature of the user.
17. The method of claim 10 further comprising separating the second temperature sensor from the first temperature sensor by a first distance and separating the fourth temperature sensor from the third temperature sensor by a second distance, wherein the first distance is equal to the second distance.
18. The method of claim 10 further comprising separating the second temperature sensor from the first temperature sensor by a first distance and separating the fourth temperature sensor from the third temperature sensor by a second distance, wherein the first distance is different than the second distance.
