  • How Should a Fever Mercury Thermometer be Disposed of? A Survey of Those Likely to be Asked
    Pediatrics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Michele Dicarlo, Bruce Ruck, Steven C. Marcus
    Abstract:

    The American Academy of Pediatrics’ recent technical report entitled “Mercury in the Environment: Implications for Pediatricians” was widely reported on by the news media. After the media reports, the New Jersey Poison Information and Education System experienced a notable increase in the volume of calls on this topic. We surveyed local, county, and state health officers who would likely be contacted by citizens with the question: “How should a fever Mercury Thermometer be disposed of?” Our initial contacts with health officers corroborated our caller’s account: a lack of uniformity of response. This led us to question if there was any consensus in advice being offered to the public at large.

  • Comparison of the accuracy of body temperature measurements with temporal artery Thermometer and axillary Mercury Thermometer in term newborns
    Paediatrica Indonesiana, 2010
    Co-Authors: Markus Gunawan, Soetjiningsih Soetjiningsih, I Made Kardana
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Rectal Mercury Thermometer (RT) has been considered to be a clinical Thermometer that measures body temperature close to core temperature. Unfortunately it is relatively uncomfortable to the patient. Axillary Mercury Thermometer (AT) is a relatively safe method, but time consuming and its accuracy has been questioned. Temporal artery Thermometer (TAT) is relatively a new method that can measure body temperature faster, and well tolerated. Objective To compare the accuracy of temperature measurement between TAT and AT in neonates. Methods Cross-sectional analytic study was conducted at Neonatology Division at Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. Every healthy term newborn who met the criteria were measured their body temperature by using three kinds of Thermometer consecutively. The limits of agreement, correlation and linear regression analysis were done to find TAT and AT’s agreement and correlation to RT. Results One hundred and thirty four newborns were enrolled in this study. TAT had a better agreement to RT with the mean

  • Comparison between rectal and infrared skin temperature in the newborn.
    Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition, 2008
    Co-Authors: Mario De Curtis, Flaminia Calzolari, Alessandra Marciano, Viviana Cardilli, Gianvincenzo Barba
    Abstract:

    The reliability of measurement of body temperature using a new infrared skin Thermometer was evaluated in 107 newborns. The use of the device was associated with low operator-related variability and acceptable limits of agreement with the temperature measured with a rectal Mercury Thermometer. Use of the infrared skin Thermometer is a comfortable and reliable way of measurement of body temperature in newborns.

  • Investigation of the cognition of Mercury Thermometer damage and treatment status among clinical nurses
    Journal of Nursing Administration, 2011
    Co-Authors: Feng Yan
    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the cognition of Mercury Thermometer damage and treatment status among clinical nurses,and provide reference for the safety use of Mercury Thermometers and treatments of other related events of Mercury leakage.Methods A total of 200 clinical nurses were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire about the cognition of Mercury Thermometer damage and treatment status.Results Nurses were lack of the cognition of knowledge related to occupational protection,and handled with inappropriate methods.Conclusion It is necessary for hospitals to strengthen related training among nurses,develop rules and procedures,and provide facilities and supplies for them.
