lázmérhöz
The term "lázmérhöz" is a Hungarian word that translates directly to "thermometer." It refers to a medical instrument used to measure body temperature. These devices are essential for diagnosing and monitoring fevers, which can be an indicator of illness. Historically, thermometers were made of mercury encased in glass, but modern digital thermometers are now more common due to safety and ease of use. These digital versions typically display temperature readings on a small screen and can be used orally, rectally, or under the arm. Ear thermometers, which measure infrared heat radiating from the eardrum, and forehead thermometers, which detect infrared heat from the skin's surface, are also prevalent in contemporary healthcare. The accurate measurement of body temperature using a lázmérhöz helps healthcare professionals assess a patient's condition and guide treatment decisions.
