The Craftemp thermometer is an electrical device for measurement of oral and axillary temperatures. The applicability of this thermometer in clinical practice was investigated by comparison with rectal temperatures measured with a mercury thermometer. Ninety-five patients hospitalized in a medical department participated in the study. The median differences between rectal/oral and rectal/axillary temperatures were 0.8 degrees C and 1.2 degrees C, respectively. The range of the extrarectal measurements was unacceptably wide. In previous studies of the Craftemp thermometer, few investigators performed the temperature measurements on hospitalized patients and found the electrical thermometer usable. In the present investigation the measurements were performed by the permanent staff during their daily routine. It was concluded, that the oral and axillary temperatures measured with an electrical thermometer were unsuitable for determination of body temperature in patients hospitalized in a medical department.
Craftemp体温计是一种用于测量口腔和腋下温度的电子设备。通过与水银体温计测量的直肠温度进行比较，研究了该体温计在临床实践中的适用性。95名在内科住院的患者参与了这项研究。直肠/口腔和直肠/腋下温度的中位数差异分别为0.8摄氏度和1.2摄氏度。直肠外测量的范围宽得令人无法接受。在先前对Craftemp体温计的研究中，很少有研究者对住院患者进行体温测量，并且发现这种电子体温计可用。在本研究中，测量由固定工作人员在日常工作中进行。得出的结论是，用电子体温计测量的口腔和腋下温度不适用于内科住院患者体温的测定。
