Hello Eswar, elevated body temperature is a sign of inflammation, therefore it's included in the screening. The method of measurement hardly matters; axilliary temperature is about 0.2-0.5 °C lower than oral temperature, but the method itself is less reliable. If you want to get a quick result, you also may opt for a pyrometer-measurement in the ear. Body temperature should be monitored during all studies of infusions (especially in the first hours). regards, Hermann |
