摘要:

AbstractA community‐based study investigating the natural history of recurrent and non‐recurrent croup is described. Daily temperature data were collected during 1977–83, in order to analyse seasonal variation and the effect of atmospheric temperature on the number of croup episodes per calendar month. A case‐control study of 137 cases—consisting of 75 children with recurrent croup and 45 children with non‐recurrent croup—and 236 controls matched by age and sex was also conducted. It aimed to study associations between croup and other selected diseases in the patients and their families.Recurrent croup differed from non‐recurrent croup in its natural history in a number of ways. There was a winter and autumn peak in the number of episodes per month. These episodes occurred on days with significantly lower maximum and minimum temperatures. Recurrent croup was significantly associated with a patient history of asthma and wheezy bronchitis and a family history of croup.In contrast, non‐recurrent croup showed an autumn peak only, as well as no association with atmospheric temperature or other disease in the patients and their families. This study confirms and extends observations indicating that recurrent croup involves a persistent and inherited airways hyper‐reactivity that is triggered by viral and other stimuli, including those rel

摘要:

AbstractA revised validated version of the Toddler Temperament Scale (TTS) was used to develop normative data for temperament in Australian toddlers. Results confirm the accepted practice of dividing the group into younger and older toddlers, with normative data reported for those younger and older than 24 months. The TTS can be used above the normal cut‐off age of 36 months. Care must be taken with interpretation of temperament scores, especially when comparing children of different background

摘要:

AbstractAn Ohmeda Biox 3700 oximeter was evaluated during treatment of 12 patients with respiratory distress. The infants were of 27–33 weeks’gestation and between 2 days and 5 months postnatal age. Blood gases were taken from indwelling arterial catheters and were measured on an ABL 30 blood gas analyser. The study tested the accuracy of the oximeter in detecting hypoxia (Pao280 mmHg). Results are based on 175 paired observations. Guidelines are suggested for the use of the pulse oximeter under three conditions. In a newborn infant with acute respiratory distress without direct arterial access, the limits should be set at 85% (lower) and 90% (upper). In an older infant with chronic respiratory distress, the upper limit of use should be 95%. In order to avoid oxygen tensions<55 mmHg which would increase the risk of pulmonary vasoconstriction, however, the lower limit should be 87%. Infants with indwelling arterial lines during their first few weeks of treatment should have oxygen tension measurements and simultaneous oxygen saturation readings plotted on a graph at the bedside. The graph should be updated every 48 h to take into account changed levels of 2,3‐diphosphoglycerate, haemoglobin F, and carboxyhaemoglobin and the recommended limits should be changed accord
