Diagram demonstrating the construction of an extension part of the endotracheal tube to monitor the respiratory gas temperature at the centre and the wall part of the tube. An extension part of the endotracheal tube was constructed by attaching two ultra-fast-response thermocouples [1.6 mm (Ttube_centre) and 0.5 mm (Ttube_wall)] from the endotracheal tube wall toward the centre of the endotracheal tube (a,b). This extension part was inserted between the distal and proximal parts of the endotracheal tube at the level of the mouth (c,d). Ttube_centre temperature at the centre of the endotracheal tube; and Ttube_wall temperature at the wall surface of the endotracheal tube.
