liz askew
: As all the other items listed are "tubes/catheters" then it is not logical that this = probe.

References to oesophageal / esophageal probe in medical literature
Hello Roxane.
Although undoubtedly some of the references found online are dubious, I have found some that appear in medical literature, in support of Margaret's answer.
Deltex Medical (the 2nd reference) is a UK company. I'm assuming they wouldn't use the term "oesophageal probe" to market their device if it wasn't used in the medical profession. This kind of reference can be hard to ignore - it's not a translation, and written by a company working in the medical industry.

: At least the second link (the first one won't open) takes you to a website selling ultrasound probes and those are totally different.
