The article presents a study aimed at assessing the reliability of the commonly used core body temperature measurement sites in modern aortic surgery performed with the aid of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP). It is concluded that tympanic temperature measurements correlate with arterial blood temperature monitoring during aortic surgery with HCA and ACP and thus, should replace bladder and rectal measurements.
