A method for monitoring intracerebral temperature in neurosurgical patients

P Mellergård et al. Neurosurgery. 1990 Oct.

Abstract

Current interest in brain temperature and selective brain cooling makes a method allowing for continuous monitoring of intracerebral temperature in humans desirable. The authors describe a safe, simple, and reliable technique using a thermocouple of copper and constantan in combination with intraventricular monitoring of intracranial pressure for measurement of brain temperature in neurosurgical patients.
