Event Description

It was reported that the arcticsun device displayed an alarm 14.An esophageal probe was in place.The patient's temperature was 36.2c, the target temperature was 35c, and the water temperature was 33.6c.The nurse checked the probe and cable and the esophageal probe was dislodged.The water temperature was at 40c due to the dislodgement.The nurse repositioned the probe and the patient was moving around.The patient was responsive to stimuli and mss discussed causes of heat generation.After an hour, the nurse noted everything was working well.The patient's temperature was at 36.7c, the target was 35c and the water temperature was 9c and the flow rate was 2.7lpm.The patient was not showing signs of shivering.Mss noted that the device was making cold water and the flow rate was optimal which suggested that this was patient-related (seizures, shivering or infectious process).Mss suggested adding a blanket for counter-warming and recommended she spoke to the patient's doctor about this issue.
