Usage Method for Body Cavity Temperature Probe

Normal body temperature ranges and measurement methods: 1. Oral measurement: First disinfect the thermometer with 75% alcohol, place it under the tongue, close the lips tightly, leave it for 5 minutes before taking it out to read. The normal range is 36.3~37.2°C. 2. Axillary measurement: This method is less prone to cross-infection and is the most commonly used method for measuring body temperature. Wipe dry the armpit sweat, place the mercury end of the thermometer at the top of the armpit, clamp it with the upper arm, instruct the patient not to move, read after 10 minutes. The normal range is 36~37°C. 3. Rectal measurement: Mostly used for comatose patients or children. Place the patient in supine position, lubricate the head of the rectal thermometer with oil, slowly insert it into the anus until reaching half the length of the thermometer, leave it for 3 minutes before reading. The normal range is 36.5~37.7°C.
