title: Intrathecal temperature is closely reflected by the aortic, but not by the rectal, temperature in a rabbit model of spinal cord ischemia.
abstract: Experimental ischemic lesions in the lumbar spinal cord of the rabbit can be induced by inflating the balloon of a Swan-Ganz catheter in the abdominal aorta. The intrathecal temperature is significantly better reflected by the temperature from the thermistor of the catheter than by the rectal temperature.
