Abstract

Objective: Ideally, the temperature measurement should be safe, easy, noninvasive, cost effective, time efficient and technique independent and should precisely reflect core body temperature and should not be influenced by the environmental temperature. In our study, we compared the axillary digital with infrared tympanic and forehead non-contact infrared measurement.
