| Summary: |
The aim of this review article is to compare body temperature values in pediatric and elderly patients. In addition, the fac-tors influencing the value during the measurement will be identified. It corresponds to a qualitative research with a design based on a systematic literature review and meta-analysis. 34 articles found in specialized databases such as Springer, Scielo, Dialnet, Elsevier, Latindex and published between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed. To demonstrate the main findings, analysis tables and checklists were optimized, thus integrating the results of several independent studies homologous to the central theme. Finally, he concluded that temperature is a variable vital sign that ranges between 35 and 38 degrees Celsius and depends on factors such as the age of the person, the site of measurement, gender, time of day and the device that will be used. |
