体温测量是临床实践的一个重要组成部分。虽然一般公认测量直肠温度要比测量口腔或腋下温度的读数更为精确,但基于方便、舒适等原因,测量口腔温度应用的要更为普遍。但是,Dan Tandberg等医生对310个病人的研究结果,呼吸过速会使口腔温度降低。在正常呼吸的病人,口腔温度和直肠温度间平均仅差0.5℃左右,但在呼吸急促的病人,口腔温度要比直肠温度低得多。作者计算的结果是:呼吸速率每增加10次,口腔温度便会降低约0.5℃。这种效应可能是由于气促的 Thermometry is an important part of clinical practice. Although it is generally accepted that the measurement of the rectal temperature is more accurate than the measurement of oral or armpit temperature, oral temperature measurement is more prevalent for reasons of convenience and comfort. However, the results of a study of 310 patients by doctors such as Dan Tandberg suggest that overstuffing may reduce oral temperature. In normal breathing patients, the oral temperature and rectal temperature between the average difference of only about 0.5 ℃, but in shortness of breath patients, oral temperature than the rectal temperature is much lower. The authors calculated that for every 10 additional respiration rate, the oral cavity temperature will be reduced by about 0.5 ° C. This effect may be due to shortness of breath
