Abstract:
Today temperature charts are used at the bedside in hospitals throughout the world. The diagnosis, investigation and treatment of patients is based on the information recorded on these charts but without a knowledge of clinical thermometry the current chart is open to misinterpretation. This article will review the origins of the current chart and discuss proposals for a new chart.
