Infrared Tympanic Thermometry for Neonatal Temperature Assessment
Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 1994To investigate the accuracy and precision of infrared tympanic thermometer use with neonates by comparing with axillary and rectal measurements.Descriptive, comparative study.Newborn nursery of a tertiary-level perinatal center.Thirty-four full-term newborns.Infrared thermometers were used to collect tympanic temperatures. An electronic thermometer was

Tympanic thermometry for recording basal body temperatures
Fertility and Sterility, 1993Evaluation of 12 menstrual cycles using oral, rectal, and TM temperature measuring devices (over 2,000 individual readings) confirmed the ovulatory thermal shift was equally detected with TM thermometry compared with the traditional methods. Although a single TM reading was satisfactory, an average of three successive readings provided a smoother graph

Comparing no-touch and tympanic thermometer temperature recordings
British Journal of Nursing, 2006Temperature is a vital sign which can be measured using various types of clinical thermometers. Pulmonary artery temperature is considered the ‘gold standard’, but this measurement is not usually clinically practical. There is currently no consensus for optimal alternative site or equipment.

Effect of head skin temperature on tympanic and oral temperature in man
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1975Five subjects were sequentially heated and cooled in a double-climate chamber while mean skin temperature (except the head) and head skin temperature were separately varied. The tympanic membrane temperatures of these subjects were disproportionately influenced by changes in head skin temperature.

Comparison of Tympanic and Oral Temperatures In Surgical Patients
Nursing Research, 1991The purpose of this study was to compare tympanic and oral temperatures at four times during the perioperative period in 60 adults having major abdominal surgery. Tympanic temperature was measured with an infrared thermometer and oral temperature with a predictive thermistor thermometer.

The validity of tympanic and exhaled breath temperatures for core temperature measurement
Physiological Measurement, 2010We examined the efficacy of tympanic (T(ty)) and exhaled breath (T(X)) temperatures as indices of rectal temperature (T(re)) by applying heat (condition A) and cold (condition B) in a dynamic A-B-A-B sequence. Fifteen healthy adults (8 men; 7 women; 24.9 +/- 4.6 years) volunteered.

Tympanic thermometry – normal temperature and reliability
Paediatric Nursing, 2009Clinical measurements such as temperature are commonly used for screening and diagnosis. However, little is known about the reliability of specific thermometers or measurement techniques.This study sought to define normal tympanic temperature and to assess the reliability of tympanic thermometry. Using a cross-sectional survey design, 244 children aged

The Difference of Tympanic Temperature According to Insertion Methods of Tympanic Thermometer Probe
Advanced Science and Technology Letters, 2015This study was conducted from Mach 2015 to June 2015 on 185 adults to examine the difference according to the insertion methods of thermometer probe when measuring the tympanic temperatures. Three kinds of measurement method were significantly different in their temperatures depending on gender or on participants' reaction to comfortableness.
