Evaluation of Performance and Uncertainty of Infrared Tympanic Thermometers
Infrared tympanic thermometers (ITTs) are easy to use and have a quick response time. They are widely used for temperature measurement of the human body. The accuracy and uncertainty of measurement is the importance performance indicator for these meters. The performance of two infrared tympanic thermometers, Braun THT-3020 and OMRON MC-510, were evaluated in this study. The cell of a temperatu...
متن کاملMeasuring Temperature with Infrared Tympanic Thermometers versus Oral, Axillary and Rectal Thermometers for Proper Patient Management
care in Canada. HTIS responses are based on a limited literature search and are not comprehensive, systematic reviews. The intent is to provide a list of sources and a summary of the best evidence on the topic that CADTH could identify using all reasonable efforts within the time allowed. HTIS responses should be considered along with other types of information and health care considerations. T...

متن کاملReviewing the effectiveness of tympanic thermometers.
Tympanic thermometers have become a popular alternative to glass mercury thermometers for recording patients' temperatures. This article reviews studies that have been performed to audit their use in clinical practice. It examines the accuracy of tympanic thermometers and discusses ways to improve the use of this instrument and the implications for nursing practice.
متن کاملComparison of oral and tympanic temperatures in adult surgical patients.
Monitoring patients' temperatures is an important aspect of clinical nursing. In surgical areas, we rely on accurate temperature readings to determine appropriate therapy. Various body sites have been used for temperature measurement: oral, axillary, rectal, and tympanic. Oral temperature readings have long been considered the gold standard. However, oral temperature readings may be contraindic...
