Further Experiences with the Measurement of Heat Production from Insensible Loss of Weight

Water Exchange of Premature Infants—comparison of Metabolic (Organic) and Electrolyte (Inorganic) Methods of Measurement 12

“…The detailed results of the observations are presented in Table II, and a summary of the water balances in Table III In Table V is presenited a comparison of the found and " theoretical " 5 retention of sodium, 5 The " theoretical " sodium retention was calculated from the chloride on the assumption that for every 120 mM. of chloride retained 148 mM.…”

“…In 1929 Newburgh (2) and his coworkers described a method for the calculation of the water exchange of normal adults which depended on a knowledge of the total caloric expenditure and the composition of the metabolic mixture. The limitations of this so-called metabolic method have been discussed in detail for adults by Lavietes (3), Peters (4), and Newburgh et al (5) and for infants by Levine et al (6). In 1935, Lavietes, D'Esopo, and Harrison (7) proposed a method for estimating water balance from base balance and changes in concentration of base in serum.…”
