A simplified technique was devised for measurement carbon monoxide excretion rates in newborn infants. Determinations can be performed quickly and repetitively in a noninvasive manner, with a sensitivity sufficient for use even on small preterm infants. Resolution of the method is +/- 4.3 mul/h (SD); however, variations in infant respiration rate may cause much greater changes in actual excretion rate. Preliminary results with five full-term newborn agree to within 15% of previously reported data. The system will be used extensively in ongoing studies involving total bilirubin production as a function of gestational age.
