To evaluate the reproducibility of Thermoscan, an infrared emission detection ear thermometer, and to establish the normal reference range of ear temperature in Chinese neonates.
Neonates were recruited from the inpatients population with exclusion of those suffering from infections.
Forty-nine neonates were recruited with 1,115 temperature taking sessions. Mean left ear temperature was 36.64 degrees C +/- 0.35 degree C. Mean right ear temperature was 36.64 degrees C +/- 0.37 degree C. Clinical repeatability for left and right ear was 0.17 degree C and 0.17 degree C, respectively.
Thermoscan produced reproducible results in Chinese neonates. The normal range of ear temperature for Chinese neonates is 35 degrees C to 37 degrees C. Ear temperature > 37.8 degrees C should be regarded as fever.
评估红外发射探测耳温计 Thermoscan 的可重复性，并建立中国新生儿耳温的正常参考范围。
从住院患者中招募新生儿，排除患有感染的新生儿。
共招募了49名新生儿，进行了1115次体温测量。左耳平均温度为36.64℃±0.35℃。右耳平均温度为36.64℃±0.37℃。左耳和右耳的临床重复性分别为0.17℃和0.17℃。
Thermoscan 在中国新生儿中产生了可重复的结果。中国新生儿耳温的正常范围是35℃至37℃。耳温>37.8℃应视为发热。
