Medical Relevance of Temperature
Core temperature
The temperature of the deep tissues of the body—the “core” of the body—remains almost exactly constant, within ±1°F (±0.6°C), day in and day out except when a person febrile illness.
Normal core temperature
The average normal core temperature is generally considered to be between 98.0° and 98.6°F when measured orally and about 1°F higher when measured rectally.
Hyperpyrexia
Occurs between 105—108°F. Circulatory shock, cell destruction and organ failure are followed by death.
Hypothermia
Occurs between 94—77°F. Once the core temperature falls below 85°F temperature regulation is lost. Death by cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation occurs once body temperature falls to 77°F.
Temperature Assessment Sites
Various sites such as Pulmonary artery (most accurate), Esophageal, Bladder, Rectal, Tympanic, Oral, Axillary and Forehead (least accurate)
| Assessment Sites | Temperature in Celsius (C°) & Fahrenheit (F°) |
| Oral | 37 Celsius which is equal to 98.6 Fahrenheit |
| Rectal | 37.5 Celsius which is equal to 99.5 Fahrenheit |
| Tympanic (Ear) | 36.8 Celsius which is equal to 98.2 Fahrenheit |
| Axillary (Armpit) | 36.4 Celsius which is equal to 97.6 Fahrenheit |
