Summary.The purpose of this study was to compare the results or body temperature measurements obtained by standard axillary thermometers with the results of infrared tympanic and frontal ski n thermometry in afebrile children. This study comprises a single- center, prospective comparison trial. A total or' 345 afebrile children aged 4 to 16 years hospitalized in the pediatric surgery department for elective surgery were included. One thousand axillary, tympanic and frontal measure ments were obtained and compared. We used two different infrurcd thermometers in this study ; one type measured the tympanic temperature, the other the temperature on the forehead. The axillary temperature measured with the glass ther mometer was set as the standard. Each patient was exposed to a constant environmental temperature for a minimum of I0 min before simultaneous temperature measurements. The mean frontal temperature 36.9± 0.38 °C was equal to the axillary temperature 36.9± 0.16 °C. The mean tympanic temperature wns 36.3 ± 0.98 °C. The mean difference between the tym panic and axillary temperatures was -0.4 °C. The tympanic temperature had a threefold greater dispersion than fr-ontal and a fivefold greater dispersion than axillary temperature. The results or this study suggest that the axillary temperature mea sured with glass thermometer has the least dispersion. Somewhat less reliable is the frontal temperature-measured with infrared thermometer. The least reliable is tympanic temperatun: measurement |
