dc.description.abstract | To assess the accuracy of the tympanic membrane thermometer for use with pregnant women. Design : Cross-sectional descriptive study. Setting : A major medical center in the midwestern United States. Participants : Thirty-three hospitalized, afebrile pregnant women. Main outcome measures : Tympanic membrane thermometers and glass mercury thermometers were used to measure body temperature at the ear and rectum, respectively. The results were compared using two statistical methods: the Pearson correlation coefficient and a new technique suggested by Bland and Altman (1986). Results : Auditory canal temperature measured by a tympanic membrane thermometer correlated with rectal temperature as measured by a glass mercury thermometer ( r = 0.38, p = 0.01). Thus, the tympanic membrane thermometer is acceptable for monitoring the body temperature of pregnant women. However, the device's estimation of rectal temperature is not clinically reliable. Conclusions : Tympanic membrane thermometers, when applied with direct measures, are acceptable for use with pregnant women. It is not recommended that the rectal estimate mode be used with pregnant women. | en_US |
