It has become abundantly apparent that thermal gradients within the body can be large during rapid changes of body temperature by any method. These gradients are of importance in selecting a site for temperature measurement, in estimating the degree of overshoot or “coasting” of the temperature when cooling is stopped, in estimating the safe time of ischemia for various tissues, in studies of the physics of heat transfer, and in considering the problem of bubble formation during perfusion with cooled blood. In this paper I shall take the heart temperature, as measured in the blood in the ascending aorta, to be the standard of core temperature. Temperature in the 2 ventricles has been shown to differ’, less than 0.08’C. and lung temperature may be assumed to equal left ventricular temperature. Organs with high perfusion, such as brain and kidney, may be assumed to follow heart temperature passively.Bazett3 suggested that the temperature of blood in the peripheral arteries might be altered by heat exchange directly with the adjacent veins, the arrangement constituting a heat conservation device. This countercurrent exchange mechanism has been demonstrated in many aquatic and terrestrial mammals and birds. 4 The amount of temperature change in the artery depends not only on the temperature of the returning venous blood, but also on the temperature of other adjacent tissues and upon the rate of blood flow through the artery.
