Abstract
The ear canal thermometer showed a difference of -0.2 to -0.3 °C compared to rectal temperature measurements.
- Bland-Altman analysis indicated a limit of agreement of the mean temperature difference of ± 0.3-0.6 °C.
- The intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.44 to 0.83, suggesting variable reliability.
- Simultaneous monitoring was conducted during different conditions, including resting and exercise scenarios.
- Results may suggest potential applicability of the ear canal thermometer for monitoring core body temperature in sports and labor settings.
