ROGERS, BERESKIN & PARR C A N A D A Title: METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING THE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS OF PREMATURE NEWBORNS Inventors: PAUL R. SWYER TIBOR HEIM JOHN M. SMITH ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus is disclosed for deter- mining the energy requirements of premature newborns. The method includes identifying a series of groups of newborns in which the age and weight of each newborn within each group are within defined ranges. A characteristic mathe- matical relationship is generated for each group and re- lates the mean heart rate to the mean energy expenditure over the group. The mean heart rate of a subject newborn, the energy expenditure which is to be determined is measured and applied to the mathematical relationship appropriate to the group into which the subject falls, so as to determine the mean energy expenditure appropriate to that mean heart rate, said expenditure indicating the energy requirement of the subject.
