Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Subjects will be admitted to hospital the evening prior, or the morning of surgery, whereupon they will undergo standard admission processes, including pre-operative assessment by the anaesthetist assigned to that list (One of the two study authors). The anaesthetist will then explain the study again, reiterating the potential risks and benefits of the study to the patient themselves, and to the population as a whole. Consent will be sought at this point.

Patients will be transferred to theatre, anaesthetised and operated on as per normal practice. Inclusive of this, in accordance with NICE guidelines, patients will have a nasal or oesophageal Doppler probe inserted to accurately measure core temperature. At this point, patients enrolled in the study will have temperature measurements taken every minute from the oesophageal probe and non-contact thermometers.

If the patients requested it previously, they will be informed of the results of the study at a later date.

Statistics will then be carried out on the data to compare accuracy of the two novel methods to the oesophageal probe.
