About this study

This prospective observational study aims to identify simple external anatomical landmarks that allow reliable prediction of correct esophageal probe insertion depth. Accurate placement in the lower third of the esophagus is essential for reliable core temperature monitoring. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) will be used as the reference standard to confirm correct probe position. The study will evaluate the agreement between landmark-based insertion depth and TEE-confirmed placement in adult ICU patients undergoing clinically indicated TEE.
