Rectal thermometry correlates with core temperature and represents the criterion standard of measuring temperatures in young children. However, it has numerous disadvantages, and thus, an alternative method of measuring temperature with similar agreement with the core temperature as rectal thermometry is desired. A new, noninvasive temporal artery (TA) thermometer synthesizes the skin surface and ambient temperatures to produce an arterial temperature.
