PULSATILE EVAPORATIVE RATES FROM SMALL SKIN AREAS AS MEASURED BY AN IMFRARED GAS ANALYZER

Abstract

The object of this report is to study the characteristic evaporative rates from small skin areas were studied on 2 subjects using Leeds and Northrup selective infrared gas analyser, modified for the determination of water vapor. The evaporative rates were obtained by passing dry oxygen through a cup on the skin and then to the analyzer in a closed circuit where the concentration of water vapor in the carrier gas was continuously recorded.
