Perilaryngeal oral airway with temperature sensor

An oral airway includes an elongate tubular member having a distal and a proximal end, the oral airway being configured to place the distal end in a supraglottic position and prevent insertion of the distal end into the patient's larynx when operatively placed within the hypopharynx of a patient. A temperature sensor is operatively associated with the elongate tubular member to detect a core temperature of a patient with the distal end of the oral airway operatively placed in a supraglottic position within the hypopharynx of the patient.
