How to record accurate esophageal temperature with OG/NG tube is in place and the patient is being lavaged, along with the foley catheter?

Answer:

Please keep in mind the esophageal temperature probe and foley probe may not be recording accurate temperatures. Can also try tympanic membrane, but the probe has to touch the TM. Rectal might be reflective of core, but not always.
