In another study
of pediatric patients (Paes, Vermeulen, Brohet, & de Winter,
2010), TA temperatures (measured using two different
devices) were significantly different compared to rectal temperatures,
with mean temperatures of 37.56 °C, 36.79 °C
and 37.3 °C for rectal, Beurer® TA and Thermofocus® TA
temperatures respectively.
