ORDER FAST READ @ $4.55 * EAR THERMOMETERS ARE NOT THE BEST CHOICE WITH CHILDREN Reference: Dodd SR, Lancaster GA, Craig JV, Smyth RL, Williamson PR. In a systematic review, infrared ear thermometry for fever diagnosis in children finds poor sensitivity. J Clin Epidemiol 2006;59:354-357. Synopsis: Basically the authors completed studies (Lancet 2002;360:603-609) demonstrating that the results from ear thermometry varied widely from those gained from rectal thermometry in children. Data from nearly 4100 children demonstrated ear thermometry is not very reliable in detecting fever. The sensitivity of ear thermometry ranged from 0 to 100%. Although it is fast and easy, the use of ear thermometry should be limited to those situations in which it doesn't matter if fever is present.
