Like all other vital signs, an ER thermometer estabilishes a baseline temp. It also helps to identify and measure the presence of fever, and thereby indicate the possibilty of an infection somewhere in the body. In hypothermia cases, the ER Thermometer measues body temp which will then guide the specific treatment measures used to re-warm the body.
