19 small premature infants in servocontrol incubators, whose abdominal skin temperature was 36.0 +/- 0.3 degrees C, were subjected to alternate high- and low-humidity environments. With low humidity, rectal temperature dropped significantly below abdominal skin temperature. Skin was the predominant site of evaporative heat loss. The temperature was lower on naked skin than on an area covered by adhesive tape. Thus, servocontrol with low humidity increases evaporative heat loss and engenders a cycle of events that results in paradoxical body temperature decrease as the incubator temperature increases.
19名置于伺服控制暖箱中的早产婴儿，其腹部皮肤温度为36.0±0.3摄氏度，被置于湿度交替变化的环境中。在低湿度环境下，直肠温度显著低于腹部皮肤温度。皮肤是蒸发散热的主要部位。裸露皮肤处的温度低于用胶带覆盖部位的温度。因此，低湿度的伺服控制会增加蒸发散热，并引发一系列事件，导致随着暖箱温度升高，体温反而下降。
