Primary study objective is to test the accuracy of the Genius 2 tympanic thermometer and the Exergen TAT-5000(TM) temporal artery thermometer as compared with serial perioperative core temperature measurements obtained in cardiac surgical patients during cardiopulmonary bypass. Study hypothesis: The Genius 2 thermometer will display greater precision and accuracy than the Exergen TAT-5000 thermometer when compared to core body temperature in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiopulmonary bypass surgery | Thirty to fifty cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass will have serial triplicate temperatures taken by both the Genius 2 tympanic thermometer and the Exergen-TAT 5000 temporal artery thermometer at predetermined perioperative time points. These temperature readings will be compared to at least one core temperature (i.e., pulmonary artery). |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Thermometer accuracy and precision: 1) Temperature obtained by Genius 2 and Exergen compared to core body temperature (accuracy). 2) Agreement among temperatures taken in triplicate at a given time point (precision). | Subjects are followed for temperature collection until 6 hours post admission to the intensive care unit; lab data and patient outcomes are collected until the time of hospital discharge. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Effect of environmental conditions before, during and after surgery, on body temperature and thermometer performance (ambient temperature, humidity, diaphoresis, warming devices). | Predetermined perioperative time periods up to 6 hours after intensive care unit admission. | |
| Explore possible relationships between temperature management and duration of CABG surgery and the following patient outcomes: mortality, renal failure (new onset), stroke, myocardial infarction, length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay. |
