A system of instrumentation for continuous measurement of gaseous metabolism and minute volume (VI) in the human newborn is described. O2 uptake and CO2 production are measured by open-circuit techniques utilizing a Servomex OA184 differential paramagnetic O2 analyzer and a BEckman LB-2 infrared CO2 analyzer. VI is measured with bias-flow pneumotachometry. Bench performance is described, methodological errors are defined, and clinical data are presented. The instrumentation is capable of safe, accurate, and continuous measurement of respiratory and metabolic variables in low-birth-weight infants.
