Abstract
Simultaneous detns. of mouth, skin and arterial blood temps. were made in a group of hospitalized patients. When the temperature of digital skin was less than 25[degree]C, the radial arterial blood temp. no longer corresponded to mouth temp. predictably. Digital arterial blood temperatures also were measured, by an indirect calorimetric technique, and, in the range studied, varied little from the blood temp. within the radial artery. Thus calorimetric measurement of digital blood flow, which used mouth temp. minus 0.7[degree]C as an index of arterial blood temp., was reliable only when skin temp. was above 25[degree]C.Keywords
