Infrared ear thermometry versus rectal thermometry in children

The Lancet, 2002
colleagues between aural and rectal temperatures may be largely methodical. The meta-analysis may have been affected by different methods in the studies, and it might have been difficult to control for quality of instrumentation and technique. Although tympanic thermometry is acceptable to patients, parents, and healthcare practitioners, it is not yet ...

A Comparison of Infrared Ear Thermometry with Electronic Predictive Thermometry in a Geriatric Setting

Geriatric Nursing, 1999
This project had three purposes: to determine the test/retest reliability of three thermometers--an infrared ear thermometer, an oral electronic predictive thermometer, and an oral mercury-in-glass thermometer (MIGT); determine the validity (accuracy) of the first two thermometers using the MIGT as the gold standard; and calculate the thermometers ...

Errors in Infrared Thermometry and Radiometry

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1970
Abstract This paper describes an error apparently unrecognized among atmospheric scientists engaged in infrared thermometry and radiometry. The error results from multiple reflections between the target environment viewed by a thermometer or radiometer and the background environment.

A new approach to infrared thermometry

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2001
Surface temperature is a crucial variable linking surface–atmospheric energy exchange, but it is difficult to measure accurately. Remote measurement by infrared (IR) thermometry is often the only viable choice, but is plagued by problems that limit its absolute accuracy.

Effect of Otitis Media on Infrared Tympanic Thermometry

Clinical Pediatrics, 1991
This study was designed to determine if temperature readings using a new tympanic thermometer are affected by otitis media. These readings were also compared to a rectal or oral temperature. Eighty-four children with unilateral suppurative or non-suppurative otitis media diagnosed clinically by their pediatricians were enrolled in the study ...

Accuracy of infrared ear thermometry in adult patients

Intensive Care Medicine, 1997
To assess (1) the agreement between infrared ear thermometry and core reference temperature (in the pulmonary artery). (2) the agreement between measurements in the right and left ears, and (3) the screening validity of infrared tympanic thermometry in detecting rectal fever.Temperatures were measured in both ears with an infrared thermometer, in one ...

Detection of Fever with Infrared Thermometry: A Feasibility Study

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1985
Fever is a remarkably sensitive indicator of infectious disease. The thermometer in clinical use today is basically that developed over a century ago, measuring heat conducted from skin or mucous membranes to an adjacent probe. In dealing with immunosuppressed granulocytopenic patients, the need was realized for an instrument by which temperature might

Infrared Thermometry in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Heat Exhaustion

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1996
Infrared (IR) thermometers (FirstTemp 2000A, Intelligent Medical Systems, California) were used to monitor tympanic temperature (Tty) in 12 collapsed fun-runners suspected of suffering exertion-induced heat exhaustion (EIHE). Rectal temperature (Tre) was monitored via digital clinical thermometers.

Infrared thermometry for lesion monitoring in cattle lameness

Veterinary Record, 2015
Infrared thermometry is a non‐invasive tool shown to be useful in detecting claw abnormalities in cattle at an individual and herd level. This study used the technology to monitor foot temperature and investigate the association with lesion presence over time.
