  Purpose

Our primary hypothesis is that the Draeger dual-sensor temperature monitoring system, used at the forehead, is sufficiently accurate compared to tympanic, bladder or esophageal temperature and oral temperature for routine clinical use during hypothermic conditions , as well as during fever.
