ABSTRACT:
A medical temperature measuring device uses a pliant flexible tube adapted to enter the trachea and permit normal respiratory function with its interior end adapted to enter the trachea. On the interior end is disposed a temperature sensor for continuous monitoring of tracheal temperature. An inflatable cuff is provided proximate the interior end on which the temperature sensor is mounted to insure thermal contact with the tracheal wall. The temperature can also be mounted on the wall of the tube for thermal contact with the trachea. A thermal insulation can also provided between the air channel and the temperature measuring device to prevent temperature readings from being affected by cooler incoming air. The temperature sensor can also be a temperature indicating material that changes color at predetermined temperatures.
