A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of sponging as a way of reducing body temperature in febrile children. Of 130 children 73 received antipyretic medication and sponging and 57 received antipyretic medication alone. No difference in temperature reduction was noted between the two groups. It is therefore suggested that sponging be abandoned as a mode of temperature reduction in febrile children whose increased temperature is due to an infectious process.
开展了一项研究,以评估擦拭身体作为降低发热儿童体温方法的有效性。130名儿童中,73名接受了退烧药治疗并擦拭身体,57名仅接受了退烧药治疗。两组之间在体温降低方面未发现差异。因此,建议对于因感染过程导致体温升高的发热儿童,放弃将擦拭身体作为降低体温的一种方式。
