The probe TTS-400 for the tympanic membrane temperature monitoring of non-tactile type Bi-Temp TM-200D for adult patients is big enough to cause bleeding sometimes in the external acoustic canal because it is easy to bend its tip against the wall of the canal, inducing a wrong measurement. Therefore, we developed a new medium sized probe and compared the efficacy of the probe to the ordinary adult type probe. In six patients under general anesthesia, 54 measurements of tympanic membrane temperature were performed using both probes and simultaneous monitoring of rectal temperature was performed. The bending of the tip of the probe was seen in 20/54 measurements of the adult type probe, which was with more than 9/54 measurements of the medium sized probe. The bleeding was seen in two patients of the adult type probe and only one patient of the medium sized probe. There were good correlations in the measured temperatures between the adult type probe and the medium sized probe. These two measured temperatures correlated well with the rectal temperature. In conclusion, a new medium sized probe is useful in clinical settings.
用于成年患者非接触式Bi-Temp TM-200D鼓膜温度监测的TTS-400探头尺寸较大，有时会因探头尖端容易贴靠外耳道壁而导致外耳道出血，从而产生错误测量结果。因此，我们开发了一种新型中型探头，并将该探头与普通成人型探头的效果进行比较。在6例全身麻醉患者中，使用两种探头进行了54次鼓膜温度测量，并同时监测直肠温度。在54次成人型探头测量中，有20次出现探头尖端弯曲，而中型探头的该情况超过9次。成人型探头组有2例患者出现出血，中型探头组仅有1例患者出现出血。成人型探头和中型探头测量的温度之间具有良好的相关性。这两种测量温度与直肠温度均具有良好的相关性。总之，新型中型探头在临床环境中很有用。
