| dc.description.abstract | Although newborn body temperature monitoring is not a routine occurrence in labour wards in Uganda, postnatal
hypothermia is a significant problem. This study was undertaken to find a convenient and accurate method of measuring
body temperature in order to assess the prevalence of neonatal hypothermia in a low-income tropical setting. Tympanic
thermometry was compared to rectal thermometry in three hundred newborns up to 90 minutes after birth. | en_US |
