Abstract
Insensible water loss, oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide production were measured in eight premature infants under four different conditions: in conventional single-walled incubator with and without plastic heat shield, and under radiant warmer with and without heat shield. IWL was greater under the radiant warmer (3.40±1.50 ml/kg/hour, mean±SD) than in the incubator (2.37±1.15 ml/kg/hour) when both were compared without heat shield. Addition of the heat shield reduced IWL in the incubator (2.13±0.76 ml/kg/hour) but not under the radiant warmer (3.37±0.94 ml/kg/hour). There were no significant differences in V̇O
2 or respiratory quotient between any two of the four study conditions.
