Mean tympanic temperature did not change after administration of propranolol: baseline 37.0 ± 0.25°C and 90 minutes after propranolol: 37.0 ± 0.27°C (p=0.26) (A). Control visit (90-minute resting phase): baseline: 37.0 ± 0.29°C, after 90 minutes: 37.0 ± 0.24°C (p= 0.09) (C). Mean supraclaviculare skin temperature compared to parasternal skin temperature as a reference. Supraclavicular skin temperature was higher than parasternal (effect of supraclavicular vs. parasternal position, p=0.0002) but did not significantly change after propranolol (effect of propranolol p=0.34) (B). Similar results were observed during the control visit (D).
