Abstract
Review objective and questions: The objective of the review is to map the available evidence to provide an overview of the use of non-invasive thermometers in the general context of health care. The specific questions,in regards to the available international published and unpublished literature, are: What types of non-invasive thermometers have been used? What manufacturers/brand of thermometers have been used? What routes have been used for the thermometers? What thermometers have been used as reference thermometers? What measures of accuracy have been reported in studies comparing different thermometers and routes of temperature measurement? How have included studies reported on comparisons of different thermometers in terms of frequency of thermometer readings, time that temperature is measured and factors affecting accuracy?
