Performance of the transoesophageal echocardiography probe as an oesophageal temperature monitor in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: a prospective observational study
Abstract:OBJECTIVES
Core temperature monitoring is critical during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this prospective observational study, we investigated the performance of the transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) probe for core (oesophageal) temperature monitoring during CPB.
METHODS
Thirty adult patients, 18–70 years of either gender, undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB were enrolled. All patients received a reusable nasopharynge… Show more
