Tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) measurement is popular, but there is no consensus on whether it is as accurate as oral temperature (OT) when taking the temperature of an elderly patient in ...

More recently tympanic thermometers have been introduced to clinical practice. The first documented use was in 1986, although they did not become widely used until the early 1990s (Betta et al, 1997).

The accuracy of IRED for reflecting the tympanic membrane temperature and changes in the core temperature during physical exercise and warming are good (Shibasaki et al, 1998). Readings may be ...

After using the intervention for 1 hour, the median temperature reduction was 2.3°C (tympanic membrane temperature) and 1.1°C (core temperature). Thirty-four of 84 patients (40%) survived until ...

The accuracy of core temperature measurement was improved with the use of tympanic membrane temperature monitoring, which was performed every 5 minutes until a temperature of 35.0°C was observed ...

Here we assessed the effects of cooperative care training on heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) and compliance (i.e., all steps of the examination ...
