Ezo themometha ze-infrared zendlebe eziye zathandwa kakhulu ngoogqirha babantwana kunye nabazali ziyakhawuleza kwaye kulula ukuzisebenzisa, kodwa ngaba zichanekile? Uphononongo lophando lucebisa ukuba bangabikho, kwaye ngelixa ukuhluka kobushushu kuncinci, kunokwenza umahluko kwindlela umntwana aphathwa ngayo.
Abaphandi bafumanise ukungangqinelani kweqondo lobushushu ukuya kuthi ga kwidigri enye kulo naliphi na icala xa ufundo lwethemometha endlebeni luthelekiswa nokufundwa kwethemometha yerectal, eyona ndlela ichanekileyo yokulinganisa. Bagqiba kwelokuba i-ear thermometers ayichanekanga ngokwaneleyo ukuba isetyenziswe kwiimeko aphoubushushu bomzimbakufuneka ilinganiswe ngokuchanekileyo.
"Kwiimeko ezininzi zeklinikhi, umahluko mhlawumbi awubonisi ingxaki," umbhali uRosalind L. Smyth, MD, utshela iWebMD. Kodwa kukho iimeko apho idigri enye inokugqiba ukuba umntwana uya kunyangwa okanye hayi.
USmyth noogxa bakhe beYunivesithi yaseLiverpool yaseNgilani baye baphonononga izifundo ezingama-31 bethelekisa ufundo lwethemometha ezindlebeni nakwi-rectal kwiintsana nabantwana abamalunga nama-4,500. Iziphumo zabo zichazwe kushicilelo lwango-Agasti 24 lweLancet.
Abaphandi bafumanise ukuba iqondo lobushushu eliyi-100.4(38(℃) elilinganiswa ngele-rectally linokuqala ukusuka ku-98.6(37(℃)) ukuya ku-102.6(F (39.2(℃)) xa usebenzisa ithemometha endlebeni.U-Smyth uthi iziphumo azikho kuthetha ukuba i-thermometer ye-infrared indlebe kufuneka ishiywe ngoogqirha babantwana kunye nabazali, kodwa kunokuba indlebe enye ifundeke akufanele isetyenziswe ukumisela ikhosi yonyango.
Ugqirha wabantwana uRobert Walker akazisebenzisi iithemometha zendlebe kumsebenzi wakhe kwaye akazicebisi kwizigulane zakhe. Uvakalise ukumangaliswa kukuba umahluko phakathi kwendlebe kunye nokufundwa kwe-rectal awukho mkhulu kuphononongo.
“Kumava am ezonyango, ithemometha endlebeni ihlala inika ufundo olungeyonyani, ngakumbi ukuba umntwana unesimo esibi kakhuluusulelo lwendlebe,” uWalker uxelela iWebMD. “Abazali abaninzi abakhululekanga xa bethatha amaqondo obushushu e-rectal, kodwa ndisavakalelwa kukuba yeyona ndlela ifanelekileyo yokufunda ngokuchanileyo.”
I-American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) isandul' ukucebisa abazali ukuba bayeke ukusebenzisa i-thermometers yeglasi ye-mercury ngenxa yenkxalabo malunga nokuvezwa kwe-mercury. U-Walker uthi iithemometha ezintsha zedijithali zinika ufundo oluchaneke kakhulu xa zifakwe kwi-rectum. U-Walker ukhonza kwiKomiti ye-AAP yokuSebenza kunye ne-Ambulatory Medicine kunye nezenzo e-Columbia, SC.
