Abstract
As technology advances, it is important for nurses to compare various types of equipment used on pediatric patients to determine the cost effectiveness, risk, and ease of use. Presently, there are several types of electronic thermometers in use to measure body temperature. The following article discusses the comparison of the Thermoscan Instant Thermometer (Thermoscan Inc., San Diego, CA) with the First Temp infrared (Intelligent Medical Systems, Carlsbad, CA) and IVAC electronic thermometer (IVAC Corporation, San Diego, CA).
