What kind of thermometer works?

Everyone who has children at home knows that little dolls have a higher frequency of colds and fever than adults. Sometimes they don't cooperate if they need to take their temperature. As a medical worker who has worked for many years, in my experience, there are several kinds of thermometers: mercury thermometer, medical electronic thermometer, infrared thermometer, in-ear thermometer and forehead thermometer. Clinical thermometer is a necessity in daily life, and there are mainly five kinds of commonly used clinical thermometers.

A, mercury thermometer

The first thing I recommend is the mercury thermometer, which should be the most familiar thermometer. Because of its low price and high accuracy, many families and hospitals are using it. Mercury has stability. Its outer layer is glass with scales on it. When measuring, wipe the thermometer with 75% medical alcohol and dry it. Throw the mercury column below 35°C before use. If the oral cavity is measured, press it under the tongue and measure it for about 5 minutes. If measuring the armpit, keep it still and dry, then put the front end of the thermometer under the armpit and take it out after 5- 10 minutes. Mercury thermometer is very accurate and does not need power supply.

Second, the medical electronic thermometer

Nissin medical electronic thermometer: measuring body temperature with temperature sensor. Turn on the electronic thermometer, hold it under your arm for about 10 seconds, and take it out after the beep. It can measure body temperature quickly and accurately, and has the advantages of convenient reading, short measuring time and high measuring accuracy. In particular, electronic thermometers do not contain mercury, which is harmless to human body and surrounding environment and convenient to carry. It is more convenient than silver needle reading, and can directly display the temperature, and the measurement time is short.

Third, infrared thermometer

Chen Zhuo infrared thermometer: By measuring the radiation temperature of forehead or eardrum, the human body temperature is measured in a non-contact way. Medical-grade infrared thermometer, one-button temperature measurement, simple operation, high-precision infrared sensor probe, more accurate temperature measurement, three-color intelligent backlight to easily judge the temperature state, green temperature is normal, yellow temperature is high, red fever reminder, one-button switch between temperature mode and object temperature mode, essential practical products for home, bid farewell to traditional measurement methods, measuring distance of 3-5cm, no contact, no measurement risk, no cross infection, and no rejection of babies.

Fourth, ear thermometer.

Braun Braun Ear Thermometer: To measure the tympanic membrane temperature, the probe and tympanic membrane must be on the same horizontal line, and the measurement is accurate. Therefore, when measuring the ear temperature, it is necessary to raise the auricle appropriately to ensure that the ear canal is in a straight line, so as to accurately measure the tympanic membrane temperature, and the operation requirements are relatively high. One-button temperature measurement for one second reading, the luminous screen is very convenient. When the temperature is higher than 38, it will display red and give a warning. The probe distinguishes between adults and children, which is not easy to hurt the ear canal. It is suitable for babies over 6 months old.

Five, forehead thermometer

Fish jump forehead temperature gun: the measured value of fish jump forehead temperature gun is also quite accurate, and all aspects of operation are very simple. Get started quickly, the digital display is clear, and the font is relatively large. Simple and easy to operate, necessary for home use. It is very convenient to use and can be used to measure body temperature, water temperature and food temperature. One-button switching is also very simple. It only takes one second to measure the temperature with one button on the forehead, and the baby does not resist. Instead, I am full of curiosity when I hear the sound of temperature measurement, and there is a buzzer prompt, which automatically shuts down in 60 seconds, saving energy and protecting the environment.
