| Abstract: | The traditional mercury-in-glass thermometer carries the potential risk of glass breakage and mercury spillage and health-care professionals have sought an alternative. This study examined the accuracy of three other types of temperature-measurement device--disposable, digital and tympanic--when compared with standard mercury thermometer readings. |
