Comparing tympanic membrane and pulmonary artery catheter temperatures

Dimensions of Critical Care Nursing, 2001
Studies comparing tympanic membrane thermometry with other thermometry methods have had conflicting results. Our hospital's nursing practice council sponsored this tympanic thermometry study in our cardiac surgical intensive care unit to assess the feasibility of increasing tympanic thermometer use in our hospital.

Tympanic membrane temperature of term and preterm neonates

Early Human Development, 1984
Deep body temperatures of 70 term and 24 preterm newborn infants were measured at two sites: deep rectum (5 cm beyond the anus) and tympanic membrane. A significant correlation was found between deep rectal and tympanic membrane temperatures in both term and preterm infants. Mean deep rectal and tympanic membrane temperatures in term infants were 37.01

Tympanic Membrane Temperature in a Patient With Vertigo

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1993
Tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) is greatly influenced by the internal carotid artery and the jugular vein. Average human brain temperature is influenced by the differences between the temperature of the internal carotid artery and of the jugular vein. TMT has been used extensively as an indicator of brain temperature.

Estimation of Body Sites Temperatures From Tympanic Measurements

Clinical Pediatrics, 1991
For many years, measurement of body temperature in routine medical practice was limited to oral, rectal and axillary sites. Recent introduction of infrared non-contact thermometers for the auditory canal requires the establishing of temperature relationships between the ear and more traditional thermometry sites.

Unique temperature patterns in 24-h continuous tympanic temperature in tuberculosis

Tropical Doctor, 2019
Body temperature monitoring in most healthcare institutions is limited to checking the presence or absence of fever. Our present study evaluated the 24h continuous tympanic temperature pattern in patients with fever in order to detect typical patterns seen in tuberculosis (TB).

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 ...

Is postoperative tympanic membrane temperature measurement effective?

British Journal of Nursing, 2016
Background: Tympanic membrane temperature is often used as a reliable indicator of core temperature. In practice, temperature measurement in one ear is considered adequate for clinical decision-making in the postoperative phase. If one ear tympanic membrane temperature is found to be abnormal, the other side is checked and the higher reading is used ...

Supralingual temperatures compared to tympanic and rectal temperatures.

Pediatric nursing, 1997
To evaluate the validity, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of the PaciTemp supralingual digital pacifier thermometer as compared to the Thermoscan Instant tympanic and glass-mercury rectal thermometers.Eighty-one children under the age of 2 years had temperatures taken sequentially at three body sites: supralingual, tympanic, and rectal ...

The Difference of Tympanic Temperature According to Insertion Methods of Tympanic Thermometer Probe

Advanced Science and Technology Letters, 2015
This 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.
