Time course of temperature values measured by the Double Sensor (TDS), tympanic (TTYMP), and esophageal sensors (TES) in the warm and cold room settings for the whole population and in the two randomization groups (group A: exposure to cold followed by warm room setting; group B: exposure to warm followed by cold room setting).
