  • Title: Comparison between rectal and infrared skin temperature in the newborn.
    Author: De Curtis M, Calzolari F, Marciano A, Cardilli V, Barba G.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed; 2008 Jan; 93(1):F55-7. PubMed ID: 18156447.
    Abstract:
    The reliability of measurement of body temperature using a new infrared skin thermometer was evaluated in 107 newborns. The use of the device was associated with low operator-related variability and acceptable limits of agreement with the temperature measured with a rectal mercury thermometer. Use of the infrared skin thermometer is a comfortable and reliable way of measurement of body temperature in newborns.
