However, most axillary skin and tissues are not close to major blood vessels, so axillary temperature is as much a reflection of skin temperature as of core temperature. In addition, heat transfer ...

Accurate temperature measurement is essential, particularly in the sick neonate. 1 Maintaining thermal stability of a sick newborn or premature infant as close to 37.0 °C as possible is one of ...

Underarm (axillary) temperatures tend to be less accurate than oral body temperature by a full degree. However, they can still be helpful for screening changes in body temperature. Monitoring your ...

The difference between axillary and skin temperatures varied from 0.57 to 0.87°C, depending on positioning and entrapment of the probe between the infant and mattress. The finding that the skin ...

Both axillary and abdominal skin temperatures have been evaluated in comparison with rectal temperature. Findings vary widely, based on the particular subjects studied, temperature instruments ...

In this study of 12 term gestation infants, approximately 5 to 9 weeks of age, the gradient and relationship between abdominal skin temperature and axillary temperature were highly variable within ...

Introduction: Low admission temperature has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Aim: To compare admission axillary temperatures of preterm infants <31 weeks ...

Fever in babies or children under 5 years of age is defined as an oral temperature above 99.5°F (37.5°C), a rectal temperature above 100.4°F (38°C) or an axillary temperature (under the arm ...
