Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of infrared scanning temperature gun in geriatrics department. Methods A total of 200 cases of elderly patients were divided into control group with mercury thermometer ( armpit) and the test group with infrared scanning temperature gun ( armpit,mild forehead, neck, neiguan) . The time of measuring temperature and sterilization, and the effects on measuring temperature were compared. Results The time of measuring temperature and sterilization in the test group were (0. 1 ± 0. 0) and (0. 5 ± 0. 0 ) min, which were significantly shorter than those of the control group ( t = 20. 61, 49. 71, respectively;P<0. 01). There was a significant difference in the forehead temperature measured by infrared scanning temperature gun and the armpit temperature measured by mercury thermometer (P<0. 05). However, there was no significant difference in the armpit, neck and neiguan temperature measured by infrared scanning temperature gun and the armpit temperature measured by mercury thermometer (P>0. 05). Patients and nurses were more likely to the neck and neiguan measuring by infrared scanning temperature gun. Conclusions The stability and accuracy of infrared scanning temperature gun measuring neck and neiguan is same as the mercury thermometer.
