Abstract Electrocardiogram, body temperature and heart sounds are important variables to monitor during anaesthesia. An oesophageal probe for combined monitoring of these variables has been designed. Special consideration has been given to the potential hazards of placing devices close to the heart and in direct contact with the delicate oesophageal mucosa. The probe contains segmental silver electrodes for e.c.g. recording and a miniature accelerometer for heart sound detection, located close to the tip of a 5 mm O.D. PVC tubing.
