Tympanic temperature - Open Access .click

Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 2006
Several publications indicate that the infrared tympanic temperature (IRTT) underestimates the core temperature of the body when the ear canal is long, curvy and narrow. In order to quantify these observations, a study was performed in 10 subjects. The IRTT was determined and compared to the oesophageal temperature (Tes), taken as the reference for ...

Tympanic temperature is a core temperature in humans

Journal of Thermal Biology, 1989
Abstract 1. 1.The validity of lympanic temperature as an index of core temperature can be questioned since it has been found to be affected by ambient temperature during exposure to cold. This work has been undertaken to explore the possible influence of head skin temperature on tympanic temperature. 2.

The effect of ambient temperature extremes on tympanic and oral temperatures

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1992
Exposure to ambient temperature extremes immediately preceding emergency department triage may affect tympanic membrane temperatures taken with infrared emission detection thermometers. In a prospective, unblinded study, 20 healthy subjects, on 2 separate days, underwent 15-minute exposures to hot (43.5 degrees C) and cold (-5 degrees C) temperature ...
