Reliability of tympanometric measures obtained with children
Journal of the American Auditory Society
|September 1, 1978
Abstract:
Conductance and susceptance measurements at probe frequencies of 220 and 660 Hz from eleven children's ears at intervals of 1 min, 10 min, 1 day, and 1 week (7 to 10 days) were obtained utilizing the Grason-Stadler Otoadmittance Meter model 1720. All test-retest correlation coefficients were found to be statistically significant (p less than 0.05); therefore, reliability of tympanometric measures using this instrument with children seems to be adequate for clinical use.

01:14Temperature Measurement Sites
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

01:14Assessing Body Temperature - Tympanic membrane
Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...
