Kärntemperaturer

Kärntemperaturer, also known as core body temperature, refers to the temperature of the body's internal organs, particularly the brain and spinal cord. This temperature is crucial for maintaining the body's physiological functions and is typically measured using rectal or esophageal thermometers. The normal range for core body temperature is generally accepted to be between 36.1°C (97°F) and 37.2°C (99°F). However, this range can vary slightly depending on the individual and the time of day, with temperatures often being slightly higher in the morning and lower in the evening.

Fever, which is an elevated body temperature, is a common symptom of various illnesses, including infections. Conversely, hypothermia, characterized by a body temperature below 35°C (95°F), can lead to serious health issues if not treated promptly. Monitoring core body temperature is essential for diagnosing and managing these conditions, as well as for assessing overall health and well-being.
