Temporal thermometry fails to track body core temperature during heat stress.
The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of temporal scanning thermometry in monitoring internal temperature increases during passive heating. ⋯ These results demonstrate that temporal scanning does not track internal temperature, as measured via intestinal temperature, during passive heating. Given these findings, it is recommended that this technique not be used to assess temperature in hyperthermic diaphoretic subjects.
