If you're wondering whether it makes sense to buy an ear thermometer, then you think about the following situation: The child screamed the last 4h non-stop and is now asleep feverish shiny. Parents worry - Man (n) should be re-measure fever, it is determined risen / fallen / still high a) With ear thermometer - cap, preheating, pressing his ear - 3sec. Ready b) Without ear thermometer - turn child gently on the back - shouting? ... Fortunately, now very carefully open the Body - cry! ... Re lucky, now very, very carefully open the diaper (may need to be replaced anyway or go afterwards eh no longer) - cry !!!! - No false alarms, thermometer start or shake in a classic and "The diagnostic pen now to where the sun does not shine ...." At least now is terror !!!!! And the diaper needs to again, the child will calm down, the thermometer is not clean and in 2H, we measure again .....
Oh yes, on the Neugebohrenenstation have the sisters exactly used this device. Whether it is 1 ° C more or less than "the real measurement" displays does not matter if you want to know whether fever rises quickly (potentially dangerous) or very high (potentially dangerous) or finally normalizes the temperature again (very soothing for parents) ...
