Tympanic thermometry--normal temperature and reliability.

Paediatric nursing, 2009
Clinical 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

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. The mean age of the rectal/ear group was 1.2 ± 0.86 years (range 0.08- 5.0 years) with 22

Effect of facial cooling on tympanic temperature

American Journal of Critical Care, 1997
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, tympanic temperature is used as an estimate of body temperature. Theoretically, temperature recorded directly from the tympanum reflects the temperature of arterial blood circulating to the brain. However, some studies do not support this connection.

Tympanic thermometry for recording basal body temperatures

Fertility and Sterility, 1993
Evaluation 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

Infrared Tympanic Thermometry for Neonatal Temperature Assessment

Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 1994
To 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 Membrane Temperature and Hemispheric Cognitive Style

The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 2017
The authors tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between hemispheric cognitive style and ear temperature. A sample of 100 participants completed a measure of hemispheric cognitive style, the Hemispheric Consensus Prediction Profile. Ear temperatures were taken in 2 sessions, 2 times for each ear at each session.

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.

Comparing no-touch and tympanic thermometer temperature recordings

British Journal of Nursing, 2006
Temperature 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.

Infrared tympanic temperature and ear canal morphology

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 ...
