1) Children = 12 years of age who are undergoing an operation under general anaesthesia for medical reasons, during which continuous monitoring of body temperature is carried out.
2) Informed consent has been obtained from the patient's legal guardian with the involvement of the patient.
3) Planned operation time of = 30 minutes
1) Refusal of participation in the examination by guardians and/or children.
2) Known diseases, deformities or traumas of the nasopharynx or upper respiratory tract.
3) Recent or planned surgery to the nasopharynx or oesophagus.
4) Recent epistaxis requiring treatment.
5) History of severe coagulopathy
