Abstract
Twenty infants dying from acute cardiorespiratory failure due to respiratory distress syndrome were ventilated by intermittent positive pressure respiration. Of these 20, 7 died at less than 24 hrs. of age and intermittent positive pressure respiration [IPPR] merely prolonged life; 13 died at more than 24 hrs. of age; and 17 survived, 6 as yet having no evidence of neurological damage. Criteria are suggested for the selection of patients for IPPR. The needs of an organization carrying out assisted ventilation in infants are discussed.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
