Conditions:
Child
Eligibility:
All Genders
8-7 years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
Children lose heat under general anaesthesia, thus temperature is routinely monitored during anaesthesia for all but the shortest cases, and active warming can be used to prevent hypothermia and its r...
Detailed Description
It is known that temperature in the lower third of the oesophagus correlates well with the gold standard of core temperature measurement, namely the temperature of blood in the heart. It is not known ...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patient requires general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation for a procedure assisted by radiography (e.g. line insertion, line change).
- Patient requires chest radiograph for procedure.
- Expected anaesthetic time more than 30 minutes.
Exclusion
- No written parental written consent.
- Known oesophageal pathology (e.g. tracheo-oesophageal fistula, oesophageal strictures, oesophageal varices, oesophageal atresia).
- Known base of skull or midface fractures.
- Previous gastric bypass surgery or nasal surgery.
- Known coagulopathy.
- Previous alkaline ingestion.
- High aspiration risk.
- Significant respiratory co-morbidity requiring anticipated peak airway pressures \> 25 cm of water
- American Society Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grading 4 - 5.
- Tracheostomy in situ.
- Severe sepsis or septic shock or other other condition (such as bronchopulmonary fistula) that precludes use of tidal volume ventilation over 7 ml/kg.
- Known airway abnormalities (e.g. subglottic stenosis) that preclude placement of a MicroCuff® endotracheal tube.
- Oesophageal or nasopharyngeal probe contraindicated for reasons related to surgery / procedure.
