Prospective, Interventional Study Evaluating Heat Transfer With the Esophageal Cooling Device
An esophageal heat exchange tube will be inserted in anesthetized surgical patients. Each patient will have 30 minutes of cooling (circulating fluid at 7 degrees C) and 30 minutes of warming (42 degrees C) with 15-minute recovery break in between. The primary outcome will be heat transfer, determined from inflow and outflow temperatures and fluid flow rate for cooling and warming modes.
