<p>An endotracheal tube (10) has a temperature sensor (42) positioned proximal of a patient's larynx when the tube (10) is in use. Thus, the sensor (42) overlies the tongue. A heat insulator (46) and an electrical insulator (48) surround the temperature sensor (42). The temperatore sensor (42) can be linear or serpentine. An oxymeter (50) can also be used with the tube.</p> |
