Comparison of Rectal, Axillary, and Forehead Temperatures

Clinical Pediatrics, 1996
To assess whether axillary and forehead temperatures accurately reflect the rectal temperature (the criterion standard)Prospective study with calculation of paired axillary-rectal and forehead-rectal temperature differences and their SDs.Referral hospital.Convenience sample of 120 patients, with 20 patients in each of six age groups (ie, < 1 month, 1 ...

Core temperature: Some shortcomings of rectal temperature measurements

Physiology and Behavior, 1977
Abstract Core temperature was recorded from thermistors implanted into the thoracic cavities of rats; rectal temperature was also recorded. A marked elevation of core temperature, lasting 70 min, was produced by insertion of a rectal probe for 1 min; this elevation was maintained if the probe was left in situ.

Prediction of rectal temperature from ear canal temperature

Ergonomics, 2001
Personal heat strain monitoring provides the best means for maximizing worker safety and productivity in hot jobs. The present study compared methods for reducing the environmental effect on aural canal temperature in an attempt to reduce the predictive error of a personal heat stress monitor (QST) and a simple ear thermistor (EAR).

ORAL AND RECTAL TEMPERATURES OF MAN

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1950
The so-called normal body temperature of a healthy person has been stated categorically to be 98.6 F. (37.0 C.). Another clinically accepted truism is that the rectal temperature is 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than the oral, or approximately 99.6 F. (37.6 C.).

Using axillary temperature to approximate rectal temperature in newborns

Acta Paediatrica, 2015
AbstractAimVarious factors have been shown to potentially affect the difference between axillary and rectal temperature measurements in newborns. We aimed to explore their roles and, if possible, to construct a formula that explained the difference.MethodsThe study was based on a consecutive sample of 175 infants, with a gestational age of 24–42 weeks,

Tympanic Membrane Temperatures Compared to Rectal and Oral Temperatures

Clinical Pediatrics, 1991
One hundred thirty-seven children at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation were enrolled in a study comparing the accuracy and acceptability of tympanic membrane temperatures taken with Thermoscan® to rectal or oral temperatures taken by IVAC® electronic thermometers.

[Repeatability of measurements of the rectal temperature and comparison of vaginal and rectal temperature in puerperal sows].

Tierarztliche Praxis. Ausgabe G, Grosstiere/Nutztiere, 2015
Postpartum diseases of sows are economically important in the pig industry. They affect animal health and welfare of sows and piglets. Measuring rectal temperature in sows post partum is a commonly used diagnostic method to early detection of infectious diseases. The study consisted of five parts.

Correlation of noninvasive surface temperature measurement with rectal temperature in swine

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1985
SUMMARY Skin and rectal temperature measurements were taken on 15 crossbred sows and gilts (225 kg) during the last 5 days of prepartum period and compared with those recorded in the first 8 days after parturition. The correlation of skin and rectal temperature values was not good during either period, although an increased correlation was noted in the

Oral and Rectal Temperatures in Runners

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1984
In brief: It is generally recommended that rectal rather than oral temperature be used to diagnose heat injury in runners. However, because of lack of privacy after a race, oral temperature is often used. In this study oral and rectal temperatures of seven women and 16 men were taken simultaneously three minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after a race
