Temperature Table

Dr Kellogg

Dr Kellogg says...

Temperature

Use thermometers constantly. Check the room temperature, it should be around 18°C. In fevers 15°C is best, warmer and the patient is depressed.

Treatment temperatures may be adjusted to the patient, but they must be known and recorded.

The patient's temperature should be taken at the rectum. If this is not possible then make sure the mouth is kept closed around the thermometer if taken by mouth or the arm is kept close to the body for the axilla.
