Zero Heat Flux Thermometry System Comparison Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Body Temperature, Thermosensing, Temperature

In brief

Nasopharyngeal and deep tissue temperatures will be measured simultaneously during surgery and compared for agreement. The hypothesis of this trial is that deep tissue temperature as measured by zero-heat-flux thermometry will agree with nasopharyngeal temperatures during surgery.
