The 3-month-old must dissipate 50% more heat per unit body surface area than during the first weeks of life and consequently, is particularly vulnerable to hyperthermia [8].
After three basal blood samples were drawn, an intravenous glucose bolus (50% dextrose at 11.4 g/m body surface area) was administered during a 60-s period at time 0. Eleven blood samples were collected during the next 19 min, followed at 20 min by the commencement of an insulin infusion (0.03 units/kg) administered during a 5-min period.
It is likely that this is partly because of tall postmenopausal women received less repetitive cyclic numbers of massage per body surface area than shorter women during the same period.
Insulin (Actrapid Human; Novo, Copenhagen, Denmark) was infused in a primary dose for the first 10 min and then as a continuous infusion (56 mU/min per body surface area in meters squared), during which DeFronzo (9) used 40 mU/min per body surface area in meters squared, for 2 h to maintain steady-state hyperinsulinemia.
CrCl was obtained daily from 24 h urine collection as a normal procedure in our ICU and normalised to body surface area, at the beginning and during vancomycin therapy [ 10, 13, 16].
The non-DMT2 control group were not given vitamin D supplements but instead were given advise to increase sun exposure (minimum body parts exposed should include face, neck, hands and arms, or at least 26% of the body surface area) and daylight outdoor activity during the entire study.
Only age differed significantly between the two groups (see Table 2) and body surface area (BSA) correlated with brain cooling during NPC (r = 0.6, P = 0.049).
Its efficacy is dependent on the color (wavelength) and intensity (irradiance) of the light emitted during phototherapy, the exposed body surface area, and the duration of exposure [ 7].
Insulin clearance was calculated as the rate of insulin infusion (mU [m body surface area]−1 min−1) divided by the mean plasma insulin concentration during the clamp [ 27].
Results: 715 patients were admitted during the study period including 184 with a total body surface area (TBSA) >20%%.
