WATERTOWN, Mass., June 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A recent study published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing* found that Exergen temporal artery thermometers (TAT) are more accurate and less invasive than axillary thermometers (AT) in the neonatal setting. The study was conducted in the mother/baby unit of an inner-city hospital, and concluded: “As a result of our findings, we were able to standardize the method of temperature taking on the unit, requiring that all staff measure infant temperatures using temporal artery thermometry.”
