Checking a patient’s temperature is one of the first things you take care of. Keeping up with a fever is a basic requirement and it should be done properly. It may seem simple; it only takes a thermometer and a couple of minuets, but just like any other technology in the field, there are some interesting developments in thermometry. The mercury-based thermometers that our moms used during our childhood were found to be too risky and mercury was replaced with other heat sensitive materials or digital electronic thermometers. Although temperatures are still taken in the old fashioned way (oral, rectal or under the arm) some new thermometers only require a gentle stroke on the forehead. The TemporalScanner Thermometer for example, is a totally non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. It captures naturally emitted heat from the skin above the temporal artery 1,000 times a second, and then gives a reading of the most accurate temperature.If you are interested to learn more about the newest thermometry technology available, check out Dixie EMS Supply.
