The traditional mercury-in-glass thermometer carries the potential risk of glass breakage and mercury spillage and health-care professionals have sought an alternative. This study examined the accuracy of three other types of temperature-measurement device--disposable, digital and tympanic--when compared with standard mercury thermometer readings.
传统的玻璃水银温度计存在玻璃破碎和水银泄漏的潜在风险,医疗保健专业人员一直在寻找替代产品。本研究将三种其他类型的温度测量设备——一次性、数字式和鼓膜式——与标准水银温度计的读数进行了比较,以检验其准确性。
