A simple open-circuit method for measuring the rate of oxygen consumption in the neonatal nursery is described and preliminary results on 240 infants reported. The findings are consistent with previous studies using closed systems and artificial environments. The variation between one infant and another was great, which makes it difficult to predict for any one infant the thermal environment at which the rate of oxygen consumption will be minimal.
本文描述了一种用于测量新生儿重症监护室中氧气消耗率的简单开路方法,并报告了对240名婴儿的初步结果。这些发现与先前使用封闭系统和人工环境的研究一致。不同婴儿之间的差异很大,这使得很难预测任何一名婴儿在何种热环境下氧气消耗率将降至最低。
