Reaching preoperative temperature stability is a critical discharge criterion afer anesthesia and surgery. Although numerous methods of measuring temperature exist, tympanic membrane (TM) thermometers have replaced oral thermometers in most perianesthesia units. With reliability of tympanic temperature readings being questioned in numerous reports and by many practitioners, the temporal artery (TA) thermometer has gained popularity among perianesthesia nurses for its noninvasive approach and ease of operation. A prospective study was undertaken to determine the ability of the TA thermometer to substitute for the TM thermometer in adult perianesthesia patients.
达到术前体温稳定是麻醉和手术后一项关键的出院标准。尽管存在多种测量体温的方法,但在大多数围麻醉期护理单元中,鼓膜(TM)温度计已取代了口腔温度计。鉴于众多报告以及许多从业者对鼓膜温度读数的可靠性提出质疑,颞动脉(TA)温度计因其非侵入性方法和操作简便,在围麻醉期护士中颇受欢迎。本研究进行了一项前瞻性研究,以确定TA温度计在成年围麻醉期患者中替代TM温度计的能力。
