  • Title: Changes of the postoperative minimal oxygen consumption of the newborn.
    Author: Ito T, Lyomasa Y, Inoue T.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1976 Aug; 11(4):495-503. PubMed ID: 966114.
    Abstract:
    Minimal oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production were studied in newborns without operation and with minor or major operation by means of open indirect calorimetry. (1) A postnatal increase in the mVO2 was observed in most of the full-term newborns without operation or with minor operation. (2) A postoperative increase in the mVO2, as observed in the adult, was not found in all newborns with a major operation. (3) This finding was particularly obvious in the newborn with a major abdominal operation and with a long pre- and postoperative periods of starvation. (4) The most important factor determining the postoperative decrease in the mVO2 is not the intensity of operative stress but the amount of caloric intake.
