Temperature Sensors in Catheter Applications

2021-12-28
●A catheter by definition is a tube that is inserted into the body, which serves many different functions during various medical procedures. Applications such as Cardiac Output, Cardiac Ablation, and Urinary Bladder Monitoring employ different style catheters equipped with high precision thermistors for tight temperature measurements.
●Cardiac Output catheterization with the Thermodilution method uses the thermistor inside the catheter to measure the temperature of the blood flowing through the heart allowing the physician to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions related to decreased blood flow or blockages in the heart. During a Cardiac Ablation procedure to correct heart rhythm problems an Esophageal catheter will be inserted into the patient's esophagus. The thermistor inside the Esophageal catheter will monitor temperature changes related to the ablation procedure allowing for better clinical decisions and preventing injury to the esophagus. Foley catheters allow continuous drainage of urine from patients, and the thermistor inside the catheter provides an accurate measurement of core body temperature. This temperature measurement provides valuable information for detecting infection, inflammation, cardiac events, and internal bleeding.
