متن کاملSimple and versatile method for measuring oxygen consumption in infants.
A simple, rapid, and accurate method for measuring oxygen consumption in infants is described. Expired gas is entrained in a stream of air drawn through a gently applied face mask. Oxygen consumption is derived from (1) gas flow rate, measured with a flowmeter, and (2) the fall in oxygen concentration of the gas mixture, measured with a paramagnetic analyser. A measurement can be made at the be...
متن کاملCircadian variation on oxygen consumption in preterm infants.
OBJECTIVE We investigated the diurnal variation in oxygen consumption to determine the optimal time periods of calorimetry in preterm infants. METHODS Oxygen consumption (VO(2)) was measured continuously for 24 h using indirect calorimetry. Twenty-two premature infants with gestational age of 27-31 (31+/-1.7) weeks were enrolled in the study. Heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, s...
متن کاملMetabolic rate in febrile infants.
An open circuit indirect calorimeter was used to measure resting energy expenditure in febrile infants. Twelve infants admitted to hospital with fever (axillary temperature 37.5 degrees C) were studied on admission and then again at the same time of day and in similar environmental conditions after the fever had resolved. Mean age of the infants was 0.31 years (range 0.12-0.54) and the mean bod...
متن کاملAn indirect calorimetry system for ventilator dependent very low birthweight infants.
With neurodevelopmental outcome of very low birthweight (VLBW) infants being adversely affected by inadequate nutrition during the first few weeks of life, there is an urgent need for more specific nutritional data on the sick VLBW ventilator dependent infant. The development of a new mass spectrometry gas analysis indirect calorimetry system which is non-invasive and can operate over several h...
