Analysis on Clinical Application Effect of Gallium Indium Tin Alloy Thermometer
Objective To compare the measurement effects of gallium indium tin alloy thermometer and mercury column thermometer in clinical practice.Methods From January 1st,2023 to January 31st,2023,334 patients who visited the hospital were randomly selected as the study subjects.Each patient was measured at different environmental temperatures and temperature ranges using a gallium indium tin alloy thermometer(observation group)and a mercury column thermometer(control group)to measure axillary body temperature.The results were compared and statistically analyzed between the two materials of thermometers.Results According to data statistical analysis,the observation group and the control group were compared and measured at different time periods of 3 minutes,5 minutes,and 10 minutes,respectively.The results of the observation group were 36.50±18.26,36.53±18.26,and 37.34±1.01,while the results of the control group were 36.50±18.26,36.53±18.26,and 37.27±1.90,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The measurement results showed no difference.The observation group and the control group were compared in different temperature ranges(normal,low fever,moderate fever,high fever)using two thermometers.The results of the observation group were 36.48±0.45,37.63±0.23,38.44±0.25,and 39.45±0.24,respectively,while the results of the control group were 36.50±0.44,37.67±0.21,38.45±0.25,and 39.48±0.25,respectively.There was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05)in the measurement results.The observation group and the control group were compared for different outdoor temperatures(-4 ℃,-3 ℃,-2℃,-1℃,1℃,2℃).The results of the observation group were 37.31±1.06,37.40±1.02,37.17±0.99,37.61±0.90,37.41±1.03,37.39±1.01,respectively.The results of the control group were 37.32±1.05,37.40±1.03,37.19±0.97,37.65±0.92,37.43±1.00,37.43±0.99,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The measurement results showed no significant difference.Conclusions Through data analysis of 668 thermometers,the results showed that the measurement results of gallium indium tin alloy thermometers were consistent with those of mercury thermometers,which could effectively replace mercury thermometers for clinical use.
