The Metabolic Rate in Praemature, Dysmature and Sick Infants in Relation to Environmental Temperature

  • Chapter
Aspects of Praematurity and Dysmaturity

Part of the book series: Nutricia Symposium ((NUSY,volume 2))

Abstract

Much has been published recently about the metabolic rate of normal and praemature infants in their first days of life. The data on dysmature infants are less abundant. Most workers have limited their measurements to the determination of the oxygen uptake and only relatively few investigations have been made on respiratory quotient (R.Q.). In the passed year we have tried to fill up partly these gaps.
