Temperature esophageal

Induced emesis is not recommended if the victim has any signs of esophageal or gastrointestinal tract irritation or burns, or decreased sensory response, depressed gag reflex, or impending shock. Activated charcoal slurry with or without saline cathartic or sorbitol can be given in cases of oral exposures. Skin decontamination should be done with repeated washing with soap. Exposed eyes should be irrigated with copious amounts of room-temperature water... 

The mouth is the normal point of entry of food and drink. There, solid food is reduced in size by mastication, blended with saliva, and temperature-moderated before being swallowed. Conditions that interfere with any of these processes (e.g., tooth loss) can affect food choice and hence the nutritional status and health of the individual. The esophagus is a muscular tube through which masticated food is transported from the mouth to the stomach. It consists of both striated muscle (upper one third) and smooth muscle (lower two thirds). These muscles undergo periodic contractions in the form of peristaltic waves that push the swallowed boluses toward the stomach. The esophagus has no digestive function but secretes mucus to protect the esophageal mucosa from excoriation. 

IV. Diagnosis is based on a history of use and the presence of signs of sympathetic stimulation. Diagnosis of hyperthermia requires a high level of suspicion and use of a thermometer that accurately measures core temperature (rectal, tympanic membrane, or esophageal probe),... 

Body temperature Malignant hyperthermia occurred 3 hours after the start of an operation for esophageal resection in an 82-year-old man after anesthesia induced with propofol and suxamethonium and maintained with sevoflurane [6 ]. Masseter spasm was not a feature. End-tidal CO2 rose to 55 mmHg and body temperature exceeded 39.0°C. The patient responded promptly to dantrolene. Reports of malignant hyperthermia in patients over the age of 80 years are unusual. Both suxamethonium and sevofiur-ane are potent triggers. 

Invasive methods for direct measurement of deep brain temperature can not be easily justified for ethical reasons. Correlations between deep brain temperature and surrogate measures such as tympanic membrane, nasopharyngeal, esophageal or rectal temperatures are uncertain, particularly...
