Abstract
|
|
|
|
Adequate maintenance of body temperature during general anesthesia is necessary for safety. Generally, esophageal temperature probe is commonly used in practice for measuring core temperature because of its reliability and feasibility. Proper placement of esophageal temperature probe is important to avoid complications. In this case report, we describe our experience with a patient undergoing lobectomy of the lung in whom the esophageal temperature probe that was misplaced into the right intermediate bronchus was accidentally cut. This case highlights the need to carefully assess correct position of the temperature probe, especially in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation.
