Glass-mercury rectal temperatures were compared with aural temperatures ("rectal equivalent" mode) in 234 children from birth to age 36 months. Sixty-two percent of measurements were divergent by at least 0.3 degrees C, 35% by greater than 0.6 degrees C. The aural infrared thermometer cannot be recommended for these ages; measurements were unacceptably inaccurate.
对234名从出生到36个月大的儿童进行了玻璃水银体温计直肠温度与耳温(“直肠等效”模式)的比较。62%的测量值差异至少为0.3摄氏度,35%的差异大于0.6摄氏度。不建议对这些年龄段的儿童使用耳用红外体温计;其测量结果的不准确程度令人无法接受。
