RESTING PULMONARY WATER LOSS IN THE NEWBORN INFANT

[摘要] The pulmonary water loss was estimated over 10 minute periods in 24 normal, resting, newborn infants. The pulmonary water loss was proportional to the minute volume. There was an approximately linear relationship between the minimal daily water loss from the lungs and the body weight. The minimal daily water loss from the lungs was calculated to be 8.6 gm./kg. body weight (range 6.4 to 12.3).
