Abstract
An esophageal multiprobe capable of continuous monitoring of body core temperature, heart and lung sounds, and ECG during surgery was constructed using tubing having integral conductive plastic strips. A temperature readout instrument was designed for compatibility with this device. Clinical testing indicates promise for the development of an inexpensive disposable device for use with patients under general anesthesia.
