Description
Background: Firefighters may experience high environmental temperatures or carry out intensive physical tasks, or both, which leads to increased core body temperature and risk of fatalities. Hence there
is a need to remotely and non-invasively monitor core body temperature.
Methods: Estimated (heart rate algorithm) and actual core body temperature (ingested telemetric pil )measures were collected simultaneously for comparison during training exercises on 44 firefighter volunteers.
Results: Prediction of core body temperature varied, with no specific identifiable pattern between the algorithm values and directly measured body core temperatures. Group agreement of Lin’s Concordance
of 0.74 (95% Upper 0.75, lower CI 0.73), was deemed poor.
Conclusion: From individual agreement data Lin’s Concordance was variable (Min 0.11, CI 0.13e0.01; Max 0.83, CI 0.86e0.80), indicating that the heart rate algorithm approach was not suitable for core body
temperature monitoring in this population group, especially at the higher more critical core body temperatures seen.
