摘要:

Children at different ages have a gait and posture typical of that age; and with a natural history should be recognised so that unnecessary treatment can be avoided. A careful explanation to the parents is of the utmost importance, and may have to be repeated from time to time, for the parents soon become discouraged by the slow pace of change in posture and by comments from a mother‐in‐law or the neighbours. Never‐the‐less, most parents are both satisfied and relieved to learn that no treatment is necessary and that their child is passing through a normal phase of deve

摘要:

SYNOPSISOver an 18‐year period, 1,830 exchange transfusions were performed on 1,160 infants born at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne with a total mortality of 9.8% for infants with Rhesus incompatibility contrasted with 3.3% in patients with other causes for hyperbilirubinaemia. The 6‐hour procedure mortalities were 3.5% and 0.6% respectively. Although deaths due to the technique of transfusion decreased over the review period, the overall mortality of infants with Rhesus incompatibility did not decline because premature induction of labour resulted in increasing numbers of very small infants. The mortality was highest when severe anaemia and respiratory distress co‐existed.The infant with hyperbilirubinaemia due to other causes tolerated exchange transfusion well, even if the birth weight was extremel
