Brief summary: Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

Detailed description: Controlling hypothermia is essential in anesthesia to limit postoperative complications. Temperature monitoring is therefore essential. However, the reliability of esophageal temperature during open chest lung surgery is discussed and not accurately assessed in the literature.

The investigators therefore decided to evaluate the reliability of the oesophageal temperature in open chest lung surgery by comparing it to the continuous tympanic temperature.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* all patients needing pulmonary surgery under thoracotomy

Exclusion Criteria:

* patient refusal
* esophageal or otological pathology preventing the installation of thermal probes

Primary outcomes:
measure: Correlation between tympanic and oesophageal temperature.
timeFrame: up to 1 day (during the surgery)
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Difference of correlation between tympanic and oesophageal temperature during left and right thoracotomy.
timeFrame: up to 1day (during the surgery)
Other outcomes:
