Monitoring esophageal temperature during catheter ablation.
I comment on a paper just appeared on JAFIB, aimed at providing an index quantifying the convenience of monitoring esophageal temperature during catheter ablation. The authors base their calculation on the data from four papers. I point out that the data from the two papers strongly against monitoring should be interpreted differently and I suggest how to retrieve more data for a more reliable ...
متن کاملEsophageal injury and temperature monitoring during atrial fibrillation ablation.
BACKGROUND It is common practice to empirically limit the radiofrequency (RF) power when ablating the posterior left atrium during atrial fibrillation ablation to avoid thermal injury to the esophagus. The objective of this study was to determine whether RF energy delivery limited by luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring is associated with a reduction in esophageal injury compared wit...
متن کاملLimitations of esophageal temperature-monitoring to prevent esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation.
A number of complications have been associated with ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), including arterial thrombo-embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, phrenic nerve injury, and pericardial tamponade.1–4 Esophageal injury, manifested as esophageal perforation or left atrial-esophageal fistula, has been reported after catheter or surgical ablation of AF using radiofrequency (RF) current5–8 and c...
متن کاملLuminal esophageal temperature monitoring with a deflectable esophageal temperature probe and intracardiac echocardiography may reduce esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures: results of a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring is one strategy to minimize esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. However, esophageal ulceration and fistulas have been reported despite adequate LET monitoring. The objective of this study was to assess a novel approach to LET monitoring with a deflectable LET probe on the rate of esophageal injury in patien...
متن کاملTemperature monitoring
Newborns have poor thermal stability and therefore infants are extremely vulnerable to body temperature variations. The purpose of choosing a temperature site in neonates is to minimise the effect of extraneous variables such as environment, on the readings. Moreover, the most accurate, least invasive and obtrusive method should be chosen. Traditional, low-tech mercury-glass thermometers are no...
