A comparison of oral, rectal, and tympanic membrane-derived temperature changes after ingestion of liquids and smoking.
TL;DR: It was concluded that hot and cold liquids significantly influence oral temperature measurement for seven to nine minutes following ingestion of ice water, hot water, and smoking, and TMD temperature is unaffected by liquid ingestion and may allow accurate measurement of body temperature.

A comparison of mercury and digital clinical thermometers.
TL;DR: Both laboratory and clinical studies show that there is no significant difference in the average accuracy of the two types of thermometers, however there is a greater fluctuation of readings of temperature when using electronic thermometers.

Thermometer placement for oral temperature measurement in febrile adults
TL;DR: This study was undertaken to provide additional guidelines for accuracy in oral thermometry technique to screen for febrile states and to document the pattern of fever and whether the course is increasing or diminishing.

Temperature lowering after iced water. Enhanced effects in the elderly.
TL;DR: Although no differences existed at baseline, temperature decreases and recovery time were strongly related to age, and it is recommended that oral temperature not be measured immediately after iced water ingestion.

A Survey of Temperatures of Adult Medical and Surgical Patients
Marie Ardith Smeltzer
- 01 Jan 1968
TL;DR: The purposes of this study were to check temperatures of adult medical and surgical patients as frequently as it has been done in the selected hospital; and to show that factors of beginning elevations can be identified without checking patients’ temperatures more than once daily.
