The thermal balance of 13 term infants was measured in a closed-circuit metabolism
chamber. Each was studied naked, then with a gamgee-lined hat, and finally with …

The efficacy of a Gamgee-lined hat in reducing the rate of fall in rectal temperature of infants
during the first 30 minutes of life was studied. The trial, which included 211 infants, was …

Partial nasal obstruction in preterm infants increases the airway resistance. In spite of this,
nasal feeding tubes are often used, if only because oral tubes are difficult to secure. A …

1. A non‐invasive method for the estimation of the intracranial blood flow of the new‐born
infant is described, and results obtained with it are presented. 2. The technique is a novel …

The thermal balance of 35 healthy newborn term infants was measured during active (AS)
and quiet sleep (QS) in thermoneutral and cool environments. As conductive heat loss was …

A series of children having tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy was investigated for
hypoxaemia during sleep and to assess the value of signs and symptoms as predictors of …

Oxygen consumption was measured in 9 short-gestation infants before feeding and for an
hour after, using a closed-circuit metabolism chamber. Using the same system, O2 …
