Expert Review Measurement of Body Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes an evidence-based method for measurement of body temperature consistent with The Principles of Clinical Examination [1]. Temperature measurement at oral, aural, rectal and axillary sites is addressed, and measurement technique, accuracy and precision, and the normal ranges are discussed. We recommend a method for the measurement of body temperature based on the best evidence available at the time of publication. We welcome responses to this article which provide evidence for improvements to the method described here. Word count: 1,789 (excluding abstract, figures, tables and references).
