In order to optimize temperature monitoring, the mean of temperature measured by Copper-CuNi thermocouple (TC) was compared with the actual temperature. By the use of the temperature response curve of TC, the data from monitoring temperature were analyzed in regard to the depth of installation, the diameter of TC hole and the material of ablation electrode. The accuracy and real-time of TC with a depth of 3.5 mm were better than those of 2.5 mm or 3 mm, when TC was installed in the ablation electrode TC hole. However, the difference of real-time performance was not obvious. When TC was installed in different TC holes with diameter of 0.44 mm, 0.42 mm, 0.33 mm respectively, TC with the diameter of 0.33 mm TC hole was noted to be of higher accuracy and better real-time to response temperature, compared with others. In terms of material quality, the slope of platinum temperature response curve was greater than that of stainless steel, while the accuracy of sensor temperature changed inconspicuously. As a result, the monitoring device of temperature should be put to the heat source as nearly as possible. Also, platinum ablation electrode with better thermal conductivity should be chosen.

D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
