Ear Thermometer Advantages
Clinical studies have shown that the ear is an excellent site for
temperature measurement because temperatures taken in the ear
reflect the body's core temperature. Body temperature is regulated
by the hypothalamus, which shares the same blood supply as the
tympanic membrane. Changes in core body temperature are usually
seen sooner at the tympanic membrane than at other sites, such as
the rectum, mouth or under the arm.
Advantages of taking temperatures at the ear versus other sites:
- Axillary temperature readings only reflect skin temperature which
may not indicate the internal body temperature.
- Rectal temperatures often lag significantly behind internal body
temperature changes, especially at times of rapidly changing
temperatures.
- Oral temperatures are often influenced by eating, drinking,
thermometer placement, breathing through the mouth, or the inability
of the person to close their mouth completely.
Body Temperature
The temperature of a healthy person is affected by various factors: the
person's individual metabolism, their age. body temperature is higher
in babies and toddlers and decreases with age. Greater temperature
fluctuations occur faster and more often in children. e.g.due to growth
spurts), their clothing, the ambient temperature, the time of day(body
temperature is lower in the morning and increases throughout the
day towards evening), the preceding physical and, to a lesser extent,
mental activity.
It is suggested that users develop the habit of daily measurement.
and use this product to establish a private normal temperature range
for themselves and their families as a reference for measurement.
