We measured body temperatures and stabilization times of 100 term and 52 preterm infants at four
sites. The sites were core, aural, rectal and axilla in order of degree of temperature.
There was significant difference between term and preterm infants (term infant higher, p<0.001).
Mean difference between axillary and rectal temperatures was 0.501C(rectal higher). Mean difference
between rectal and core temperatures was 0.10lC(core higher).... |
