A Comparison of Axillary and Skin-to-Mattress Temperature in Stable Full-term Neonates
摘要
The purpose of this study was to explore stabilization temperatures (reading constant for 1 minute) and maximum temperatures at axillaiy and skin-to-mattress sites. Thirty-two normal full-term neonates were purposely chosen from a nurseiy of a medical center in southern Taiwan. Axillary and skin-to-mattress temperatures were measured consecutively for 10 and 15 minutes respectively, using a glass thermometer. Results revealed that (1) stabilization temperature and maximum temperature at axilla were 36.9 ± 0.2°C and 37±0.2°C with required measuring times of 3.3 ± 0.7 minutes and 5.9 ± 2.4 minutes respectively; (2) stabilization temperature and maximum temperature for skin-to-mattress were 36.6 ± 0.3°C and 36.8 ± 0.2°C with required measuring times of 4.3 ± 0.9 minutes and 8.8 ± 3.5 minutes respectively, which were significantly different from the measures at the axillary site (p ＜ .001); (3) skin-to-mattress and axillary temperatures were highly correlated (r＞ .8) while the measuring time 7 minutes, and (4)the optimal placement time (90% of infants reaching stabilization temperature at axillary or skin-to-mattress sites) was 10 minutes.
