The basic means of prevention of influenza – temperature measurement
The clinical features of influenza symptoms of systemic poisoning weight, expressed as Taiwan stay high fever fever, chills, fatigue, headache, body ache. Influenza viruses more common in elderly people with low immunity, chronic diseases and those associated with other heavier immune systems are imperfect child. Influenza, though not seriously ill, but a lot of complications. The elderly can lead to acute exacerbation of chronic diseases or aggravating existing and trigger pneumonia, myocarditis, etc.; complications of influenza in children than adults, even more, in addition to pneumonia, myocarditis, there are otitis media and bronchitis, according to statistics, the influenza pandemic of deaths during the period and even up to 1% -3% of patients.
In order to prevent avian flu, in addition to influenza vaccination as soon as possible and less exposure to the intense local sources outside of influenza. In particular, attention should be given the first symptom of flu – fever fever. Regular daily basis to detect the body temperature through the timely detection of abnormal temperature changes in the family to achieve early treatment, with a diagnosis of influenza or flu or other diseases caused by being prepared to do to avoid cross-infection.
Digital Thermometer – flu season the whole family’s health partner
In order to gain a regular inspection body temperature, need to prepare a family to take care of the needs of thermometers. In the children, the elderly, when using conventional mercury thermometer, the question then out: into the mouth detection, Yao Sui glass mercury thermometers, mercury leakage flow to the mouth as well as being swallowed, consequences will be catastrophic to their children, elderly health zone come to serious harm. Today, electronic thermometer announced the birth of a zero-mercury-era had dawned, its own use of antibacterial resin, can inhibit the mold is generated, even if put in the mouth, but also very safe.
At present, represented by Omron Electronic thermometer also uses large-screen LCD display, even if the eyes of the elderly poor, but also very clear to read values, measured after the completion still buzz prompted, do not bother to note their own time. In addition, many impatient for the family, the electronic thermometer has launched a predicted temperature model, just a second, you can achieve accurate, easy measurements, so that they can detect influenza season is very easy to form habits. This applies equally at home in the baby, no matter when he is crying or falling asleep when the temperature measurements can be carried out in an instant. These user-friendly design to enable electronic thermometer more vulnerable to the family of all ages.
As electronic thermometer technology continues to improve its precision detection capabilities have been recognized. Experts pointed out that the principle of electronic thermometer with thermistor temperature measurement, with the same accuracy of measurement of the mercury column. Children’s Hospital of Fudan University, Tianjin First Central Hospital have also used the Omron electronic thermometer with the mercury thermometer comparative experiment found that both the precision was no significant difference in terms of proved that the same electronic thermometer with the mercury thermometer with high accuracy. And It is understood that participating in the experiment Omron Electronic thermometers can reach 0.1 degree accuracy and easy on the body temperature to do more detailed, accurate observation, more suitable for temperature measurement of influenza prevention of high demand.
