摘要:

The treatment of the critically ill and injured patients in separate intensive care units has created a great need for a large number of paramedical specialists and technicians of various categories. These include: respiratory therapists and technicians, physical therapists, radiology technologists, laboratory technicians, biomedical equipment technicians, social workers, unit managers, bacteriologists and bacteriology technicians, physiologists, computer scientists, programmers, computer technicians and emergency medical technicians. They can uniquely and significantly contribute to the improvement of the intensive care as well as to the reduction of mortality and long term invalidity. With today's rapid development of new therapeutic methods, including on-line computerized monitoring, use of artificial organs and extracorporeal circulation, one must anticipate that the number of both new and conventional types of paramedical specialists in intensive care facilities will continue to increase.

摘要:

Using a model to simulate a patient breathing spontaneously through a T-piece from a Puritan nebulizer delivering 44, 74 or 100% oxygen, we evaluated the effects of oxygen flow, ventilatory pattern, and open-ended reservoir (“tail-piece”) volume, on FAO2and FACO2.The FAO2approaches Fio2. with higher oxygen flows into the nebulizer, lower tidal volumes, lower respiratory flow rates, or larger reservoirs. However, with shallow rapid respiration a greater reservoir volume increases FACO2as well. Most importantly, when the nebulizer setting is changed from 40 to 70% or from 70 to 100%, only a negligible increase in FAO2is achieved at an oxygen flow of 5 L/min without the use of a reservoir. We conclude that the T-piece is most safely used with a Puritan nebulizer when the oxygen flow is set at 14L/min (Flush), and the reservoir volume is at least 200 ml.

摘要:

Follow-up evaluation was carried out in 109 (86%) of 126 children who required ventilatory support in the newborn period for respiratory failure; the commonest cause of which was the respiratory distress syndrome. The children are currently between 1 and 6 years of age. Their gestational ages ranged from 27 to 42 weeks and their birth weights from 1050 to 4360 g.The number of major abnormalities in the RDS group was small, occurring primarily in infants who were less than 1500 g birth weight, or in children who have had neonatal insults such as asphyxia or hyperbilirubinemia. The survivors of other causes of neonatal respiratory failure are too small in number to make a valid comparison with RDS survivors, but all appear to be developing normally. The data presented here suggest that RDS itself, even in its most severe form, does not in the large majority result in impaired development of the survivors, and that the overall outlook for this group of infants is an extremely encouraging one, and indicates that life-support efforts are warranted.
