THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT Core Temperature Core temperature is the most precise measurement and involves measuring the temperature in the pulmonary artery by means of a catheter equipped with a thermal probe, which can read the temperature in situ. The same method is employed for probes measuring the esophageal temperature.
ADVANTAGES OF TEMPORAL ARTERY (TA) TEMPERATURE Infrared arterial temperature can be measured using a device placed on the forehead, in the temporal artery region. It has been demonstrated that this relatively new method of measuring temperature is more precise than tympanic thermometry and better tolerated than rectal thermometry.
HOW TO TAKE A TEMPERATURE Aim at the FOREHEAD, over the right eye*, holding the unit approximately 2 inches (5 cm) from the body. Activate the thermometer’s target finding feature, two red dots will appear on the patient’s forehead. Move the thermometer gradually towards the patient until only one red dot is visible –...
