1 Therapeutic hypothermia: heat transfer from warmed tracheal tubes to oesophageal temperature probes poses risk of life-threatening overcooling  A. Lavinio, F. Sanfilippo, A.K. Gupta  British Journal of Anaesthesia  Volume 108, Issue 2, Pages (February 2012) DOI: /bja/aer464 Copyright © 2012 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Chest CT scan at the level of third thoracic vertebra showing close contiguity between the tracheal tube and the oesophageal temperature probe. Probes placed in the proximal half of the oesophagus can significantly overestimate core temperature leading to overcooling and potential harm to patients.
