•All patients on admission to the trauma ward with an extracapsular fracture of the neck of femur will be given the opportunity to participate in the study. They will be given the patient information sheet and the opportunity to discuss with the research team. They will be given the opportunity to discuss with their friends, family and GP (if they wish so). If they agree to participate they will be placed on the list but not randomised at that stage. The consent to participate in the study will be taken by the researcher.

•1. Patients unwilling to take part in the study
•2. Paediatric cases (unlikely)
•3. Patients not suitable for or not wanting general anaesthesia
•4. Patients unable to sign the consent form
•5. Known history of deep vein thrombosis
•6. Previous oesaphageal surgery (as it can make the placement of oesophageal probe technically unpredictable)
•7. Oesophageal varices and other oesophageal abnormalities
•8. Pregnant women
