Using the Temporal
Scanner
on an Infant
Temping Baby in Bassinette, Open Crib, or with Mom
•
Instrument should be in same environment as the baby.
•
Measurement site must be exposed.
•
One measurement, preferably at the TA, is all that is required.
Preferred site is the temporal
artery area. In this case,
behind the ear could be an
alternate site, as both are
exposed.
Temporal artery area is
the only option in this
case, as the neck area is
not exposed
