A Novel Approach to Maintaining Normothermia in Major Spinal Deformity Surgery with an Esophageal Warming Device

We report the novel use of an esophageal warming device, added to standard care, to maintain normothermia in three patients. We conclude that esophageal warming is feasible in major spine surgery with no apparent complications. Safety and efficacy, as compared to standard warming devices, will need to be determined in future prospective … Show more
