The maintenance of a constant body temperature is important to all humans but even more so for newborn babies (neonates), especially those born pre-term. Because accurate measurement of body temperature is an important component of thermoregulation management in the neonate, a review of the literature was undertaken to determine the most appropriate method and site of temperature measurement in both the preterm and term neonate. The available evidence indicates that the axilla remains the most common place for temperature measurement.
维持恒定体温对所有人都很重要，但对新生儿（尤其是早产儿）来说更为重要。由于准确测量体温是新生儿体温调节管理的重要组成部分，因此进行了文献综述，以确定早产儿和足月儿最适宜的体温测量方法和部位。现有证据表明，腋窝仍是最常用的体温测量部位。
