Computational Model for Insensible Water Loss From the Newborn

Pediatrics, 1987
A mathematical model for predicting insensible water loss from the newborn infant has been developed, and its adjustable parameters have been evaluated using existing data for respiratory and transepidermal water loss components. Subsequently, the model was verified by using an independent set of available data on total insensible loss from naked ...

Insensible water loss and its assessment in adult patients: a review

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 1987
The nature, magnitude and factors influencing insensible water loss are discussed. A brief overview of the current practice of estimating insensible perspiration in Sweden is presented. Finally, a suggestion is put forward regarding a simplified formula for estimating insensible water loss in adult patients, based on information currently available in ...

Effects of Radiant Warmer on Insensible Water Loss in Newborn Infants

JAMA Pediatrics, 1974
Twenty-four insensible water loss (IWL) studies, measured as insensible weight loss (IL), were performed on 24 normal, term, newborn infants during the first two days of life. The IWL of infants placed under a radiant warmer (infrared radiant energy source) was significantly greater than the IWL of infants placed in a standard convection-type incubator

Predicting Insensible Water Loss in Premature Neonates

Neonatology, 1994
The insensible water loss from the skin of premature neonates in various environments can be estimated by modeling the skin as a composite membrane and applying Fick’s law to each layer. Studies involving human skin development have made it possible to apply the proposed model to predict an infant’s insensible water loss as a function of gestational ...

Phototherapy and Insensible Water Loss in the Newborn Infant

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1972
Water balance studies were performed in 12 full-term hyperbilirubinemic newborn infants receiving phototherapy. The results were compared with 14 control and 10 jaundiced infants who did not receive phototherapy. In phototherapy infants, the respiratory rate, stool water loss, and insensible water loss were significantly greater than the control and ...

Insensible water loss in infants

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1967
HE PHENOMENON of insensible loss of water was first noted by Sanetorius in 1614, when he suspended himself from one arm of a beam balance and observed a progressive weight loss2 He conceived the name "perspiratio insensiblis" for the insensible, or evaporative, water loss that occurs through the skin and lungs.

Increased insensible water loss in feline retrovirus-infected cats

Respiration Physiology, 1995
Feline retroviruses such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) adversely affect the regulation of many vital host systems such as the immune response, erythropoiesis, and nutrient metabolism. In this paper, we describe the disruption of an additional homeostatic mechanism-evaporative water loss-by FeLV. Viremic cats had greater evaporative water losses (24.0

Effect of an air-fluidized bed on insensible water loss

Critical Care Medicine, 1987
Air-fluidized beds are increasingly used for patients with burns, decubitus ulcers, trauma, and generalized debility. Fluidized beds provide a medium that is more dense than water for patients to float on by pumping air through silicone-coated microspheres separated from the patient by a monofilament polyester sheet.

Insensible Water Losses per Day by Hospitalized Infants and Children

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1955
Water lost insensibly by way of the lungs and skin is an important factor in determining both the body requirement and the body tolerance for water.1Under conditions where homeostatic capacity to vary urine water output is greatly reduced by renal failure, insensible water loss (I. W.

Insensible Water Loss During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: An In Vitro Study

ASAIO Journal, 2000
To measure insensible fluid loss from silicone membrane oxygenators during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), an in vitro system was used. A standard neonatal ECMO circuit (Avecor) was connected to a noncompliant reservoir, which was then primed with normal saline.
