Brief Summary  
Anaesthesia and surgery significantly affects the internal thermoregulation of the
human body. Therefore, temperature monitoring is one of the mandatory parameters to
be monitored during anaesthesia and to take appropriate measurements to avoid large
changes in body temperature. Ideally, temperature monitoring should be the
measurement of the core temperature. The core thermal compartment is composed of
the highly perfused tissues whose temperature is uniform and high compared with the
rest of the body. This core temperature monitoring is done at several sites including
nasopharyngeal, oesophageal, tympanic, and pulmonary artery which are mostly
invasive in nature. Both nasopharyngeal and oesophageal temperatures are favored as
primary indicators of intraoperative thermal status due to their proximity to the
internal carotid artery and great vessels and heart, respectively. The peripheral sites of
temperature monitoring like axillary, forehead, and abdominal skin showed poor
reliability with the core temperature monitoring sites during intraoperative
temperature monitoring.
