To assess the accuracy of the tympanic membrane thermometer for use with pregnant women.
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
A major medical center in the midwestern United States.
Thirty-three hospitalized, afebrile pregnant women.
Tympanic membrane thermometers and glass mercury thermometers were used to measure body temperature at the ear and rectum, respectively. The results were compared using two statistical methods: the Pearson correlation coefficient and a new technique suggested by Bland and Altman (1986).
Auditory canal temperature measured by a tympanic membrane thermometer correlated with rectal temperature as measured by a glass mercury thermometer (r = 0.38, p = 0.01). Thus, the tympanic membrane thermometer is acceptable for monitoring the body temperature of pregnant women. However, the device's estimation of rectal temperature is not clinically reliable.
Tympanic membrane thermometers, when applied with direct measures, are acceptable for use with pregnant women. It is not recommended that the rectal estimate mode be used with pregnant women.
评估鼓膜体温计用于孕妇的准确性。
横断面描述性研究。
美国中西部的一家大型医疗中心。
33名住院的无发热孕妇。
分别使用鼓膜体温计和玻璃水银体温计测量耳部和直肠温度。采用两种统计方法比较结果：Pearson相关系数和Bland与Altman（1986年）提出的一种新技术。
鼓膜体温计测量的耳道温度与玻璃水银体温计测量的直肠温度相关（r = 0.38，p = 0.01）。因此，鼓膜体温计可用于监测孕妇体温。然而，该设备对直肠温度的估计在临床上并不可靠。
鼓膜体温计在直接测量时可用于孕妇。不建议对孕妇使用直肠估计模式。
