About

Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

Full description

Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

The investigators therefore decided to evaluate the reliability of the oesophageal temperature in open chest lung surgery by comparing it to the continuous tympanic temperature.
