Question
- What is the comparative clinical effectiveness of temporal artery thermometers with tympanic, rectal, or axillary thermometers in febrile pediatric patients two years of age and older and in patients younger than two years of age?
- What is the comparative accuracy of temporal artery, tympanic, rectal, or axillary thermometers in febrile pediatric patients two years of age and older and in patients younger than two years of age?
- What are the evidence-based guidelines associated with the use of temporal artery, tympanic, rectal, or axillary thermometers in febrile pediatric patients two years of age and older and in patients younger than two years of age?
Key Message
Five non-randomized studies were identified regarding the comparative clinical effectiveness or the comparative accuracy of temporal artery, tympanic, rectal, or axillary thermometers in febrile pediatric patients two years of age and older and in patients younger than two years of age.
