摘要: Total evaporative water loss, transepidermal as well respiratory loss was measured in 8 infants on day 1, 11 from 2 to and after 8. Measurements were performed at two levels of humidity, either vapor pressure 16 or 25 mmHg (2 133 3 333 Pa). Evaporative 40% lower the higher humidity. Neither metabolic rate nor body temperature showed a significant difference between The effect change humidity neutral thermal environment calculated, being 0.05 degrees C when is increased by 1 (133.3 We conclude that high limited value nursing born 30-40 weeks.
