[Systems for the determination of body temperature].
It is essential for a health care professional to know how body temperature is regulated, what factors affect body temperature, and what different measurement systems are available. This file contains descriptions of 1) the thermometers available: electronic, mercury-based, infrared; 2) the places where body temperature can be measured: skin, armpits, rectum, mouth, tympanum, esophagus, or pulmonary artery blood. All content material is justified by a documented bibliography.
