This study aims to determine whether temporal artery (TA) thermometer readings are accurate and better tolerated than rectal readings in young children.
Paired rectal and TA temperature readings and Face Legs Activity Cry and Consolability (FLACC) scores were obtained.
TA thermometry failed to detect rectal fever (38 degrees C or greater) in approximately 20% of paired temperature readings. FLACC scores were significantly lower after TA readings than after rectal readings.
This study questions TA readings as an accurate substitute for rectal thermometry.
本研究旨在确定在幼儿中，颞动脉（TA）体温计读数是否准确，以及是否比直肠读数更易被接受。
获取配对的直肠和TA温度读数以及面部腿部活动哭闹和安慰度（FLACC）评分。
在大约20%的配对温度读数中，TA体温计未能检测出直肠发热（38摄氏度或更高）。TA读数后的FLACC评分显著低于直肠读数后的评分。
本研究对TA读数能否准确替代直肠体温测量提出了质疑。
