Dr. K. Vani
Abstract :
Accurate temperature measurement remains a key element for any health care services. Axillary digital thermometry is a well accepted method everywhere. Objective: To compare the results of two methods of temperature measurements by non contact infrared thermometers and digital thermometers in children and determine the agreement between the two methods. Design:Prospective comparative study Duration: 1st May to 15th May 2014. Setting: Pediatric ward of a tertiary care teaching hospital at Smt. SCLGH, Ahmedabad. Method: Body temperature of children admitted in pediatric ward was measured by both digital and non contact infrared thermometers. Result: Statistical analysis by Bland Altman plot suggests that the two methods do not agree. Conclusion: infrared thermometers need some improvement in technology to become accurate for temperature measurement.
