Fig 2 Integration of ΔT2 over time for a 4-yr-old boy against oesophageal temperature, demonstrating the three phases of cooling, heating, and overheating—slope changes indicate changes in thermal resistance as this is the only variable in the heat equation [see Supplementary Appendix (available online)].
