    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-01-19) Hilario Quispe, Rosmery; Matta Solis, Hernán Hugo
    Objective: Analyze the evidence about the effectiveness of the use of the digital thermometer versus the infrared thermometer in pediatric patients. Material and Methods: Systematic analysis of 10 scientific articles about the effectiveness of the use of the digital thermometer versus the infrared thermometer in pediatric patients, classified according to criteria, evaluating the quality of the evidence through the Grade system, located in the databases. following data: PubMed, Medline, Elsiber, Bvs, Scielo, Cochrane Plus Results: 30% (n= 3/10) are systematic reviews, 10% (n=1/10) are randomized clinical trials, 20% (n=2/10) are randomized controlled clinical trials, 30% (n=3/10) are cohort studies, and 10% (n=1/10) are randomized clinical trials. It is an analytical cross-sectional study. Of the 10 articles systematically examined, 70% (n=7/10) determined the effectiveness of the use of digital thermometers in terms of its use being more effective, precise and sensitive, even at higher temperatures and 30% (n=3 /10) agree that measuring infrared temperature is faster, as it does not contact the skin, is easier for the pediatric patient and there is not much relevance with the digital thermometer. Conclusions: Of the articles examined, 7 of the 10 articles demonstrate that the digital thermometer is considered more effective due to its precision, sensitivity, and 3 of the 10 articles report that the infrared thermometer is considered more effective due to its speed, and less contact with the patient.
