Primary outcomePrimary: Body Temperature Difference in Degrees Celsius — -0.28 Degrees Celsius — p=0.69
Summary
Nasopharyngeal and deep tissue temperatures will be measured simultaneously during surgery and compared for agreement. The hypothesis of this trial is that deep tissue temperature as measured by zero-heat-flux thermometry will agree with nasopharyngeal temperatures during surgery.
