Reproducibility of regional lung ventilation distribution determined by electrical impedance tomography during mechanical ventilation.

abstract：:Body temperature measurement is an important clinical parameter. The performance of a number of non-invasive thermometers was measured by comparing intra- and inter-operator variability (n = 100) and clinical accuracy (n = 61). Variability was elevated in febrile compared to normothermic subjects for axillary and oral...
