Rectal Temperature Advises - Adults, Teens and Greater Children

Rectal temperature is the way you can get the most accurate reading. It also has the advantage that it gives you opportunity for a regular check of the rectal opening and the zone around, which can be important to detect symptoms of serious diseases or worsening of a disease.

Here are some advises how rectal temperature check shall be performed in patient greater than a small child.

You should use a digital thermomometer with a tip so long that can be inserted just through the spinchter area. A fairly long rigid tip with a bulb at the end is perfect. A fairly long flexible tip is also good.

Lift off the blanket from the patient's lower body. Pull down or take off the pajama or underwear of the patient. Roll the patient over to his side. Bend up the legs of the patient so much that his buttocks get slightly separated.

Lubricate the thermometer well with Vaseline or some other salve suited to apply in the rectal area. Let it be some surplus of salve at the tip of the thermometer.

With your left hand take hold of the upper buttock and pull his cleft open so that the anus is well visible. You can also insert your thumb and three other fingers in his cleft and spread the rectal zone open by pressing your fingers apart. Hold the thermometer in your other hand.

Lubricate his anus with the salve at the tip of the thermometer.

Then gently insert the thermometer tip so that it passes through the anus, but not much longer. When using a thermometer with a bulb at the tip, the bulb will help fix the thermometer in position if the bulb is placed just past the spinchter.

The insertion angle is important for a comfortable insertion. Insert the thermometer tip perpendicular to the anal area, or with the thermometer inclining a little forwards. If the insertion is difficult, negotiate by gently pushing the thermometer forwards and backwards a little while also pressing gently inwards.

Then let the buttocks close around the thermometer and press the buttocks a little together with one hand while holding the thermometer in place with the other. This is to ensure that the thermometer tip will be exposed to the inner body temperature. Hold the thermometer in place 3 minutes or until the electronic thermometer indicate that the reading is finished with a beep.

Then gently spread open the buttock cleft again and slowly pull out the thermometer.

Read and notate the temperature measured. Write down the reading in a book for future documentation.

Weap away any surplus of salve from the anus of the patient with a paper. Pull back his underwear, stretch out his legs again and reposition him in a comfortable position. Recover the patient with the blanket.
