Utility! The doctor personally demonstrates the use of various thermometers, what are the specifics?

Mercury thermometer, first throw the thermometer below 35, disinfect the thermometer with 75% alcohol, add it to the armpit, and wait for 5-10 minutes to take it out**; The electronic thermometer, due to the battery level or just taken out will not be accurate, the second time is subject to the two measurements. Forehead thermometer, 3-5 cm away from the forehead, can not cover bangs, measure the wrist to roll up the cuffs.

1. The correct way to use the thermometer - measure the mouth temperature with a mercury thermometer

1) Shake the thermometer below 35 before use.

2) Place the thermometer under your tongue (just hold it, don't bite or talk too hard).

3) At least 3-5 minutes, 7 minutes is best.

4) Take out the thermometer, read the temperature data, wipe it with toilet paper, and then disinfect it with an alcohol swab (wipe it from the tail end to the mercury end in a rotating way).

Commonly used methods include armpit measurement, oral measurement, forehead temperature measurement, ear temperature measurement and anal temperature measurement.

Mercury thermometer: lower to below 35 before use, place in the central axillary for 5-10 minutes;

Forehead thermometer: 3-5 cm from the forehead, no bangs; The forehead thermometer measures the forehead more accurately, and the cuffs should be rolled up when measuring the wrist; If the forehead thermometer measures the body temperature abnormally, it must be rechecked with a mercury thermometer.

When measuring the temperature of the liquid in the thermometer, the correct method is: (1) the glass bubble of the thermometer should be fully immersed in the liquid to be measured; Do not touch the bottom of the container or the walls of the container; (2) After the thermometer glass bubble is immersed in the measured liquid, wait for a while, and then read it after the thermometer is stable; (3) The glass bubble should continue to remain in the liquid to be measured during reading, and the line of sight should be level with the upper surface of the liquid column in the thermometer.

Tools Raw materials: thermometer, common sense of use.

1. First of all, look at the numbers on the thermometer, these are the degrees that indicate body temperature.

2. Before using the thermometer, be sure to shake it, like this.

3. This end of the thermometer is a mercury head, which needs to be placed under the armpit for measurement.

4. Before using the thermometer, if the previous person has used it, the temperature will still be in the original position, so we need to shake it off.

5. Throw it until the temperature is behind 35 degrees.

6. Then put it under the armpit and measure it for five to ten minutes, the temperature is normal body temperature at 36-37, and there is a low-grade fever if it exceeds 37. When you see it, look sideways, because it is a triangular shape, and you can see it more clearly if you zoom in on the side.

When the medical thermometer reaches the highest temperature and then drops, there is a very fine part in the front of the mercury bubble that will be disconnected too quickly due to the shrinkage of the mercury in the mercury bubble, so that the indication stays at the highest body temperature, and it needs to be shaken when resetting. This design is not available for commonly used thermometers.

Proper use of commonly used thermometers:

Before use: 1) See the range of the thermometer, judge whether it is suitable for the temperature of the object to be measured, and avoid damaging the thermometer;

2) Recognize the index value and zero scale mark of the thermometer for accurate reading.

When using: 1) The glass bubble of the thermometer is fully immersed in the liquid to be measured (that is, it is in full contact with the object to be measured), and do not touch the bottom or wall of the container;

2) The glass bubble of the thermometer is immersed in the liquid to be measured for a while, and the reading is made after the thermometer is stable;

3) The glass bubble of the thermometer should continue to remain in the liquid to be measured during reading, and the line of sight should be level with the upper surface of the liquid column in the thermometer.
