ClinConnect Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of different environmental factors on the ability for a thermistor-based epitympanic thermometer to accurately read the temperature of a normothermic individual and thereby estimate their feasibility and reliability in the austere pre-hospital setting.
Healthy volunteers will be recruited. As reference value for core temperature we will use a standard rectal probe (Mon-a-Therm, General purpose Temperature Probe 12Fr/Ch, Covidien) attached to an external monitor. The study will be in a field setting in the mountains of Hemsedal, Norway.
