| Popis: | 40 infants with respiratory failure have been treated with mechanical ventilation during an eighteen-month period. 12 of the infants were considered to have a hopeless prognosis because of extreme immaturity, congenital malformations, or irreversible birth asphyxia. 12 infants survived, giving a survival-rate of 30%, and a survival-rate of 43% among the 28 infants who had some prospect of recovery. It is concluded that mechanical ventilation should produce a small but worthwhile reduction in mortality in units equipped for the intensive care of newborn infants, but that no infant should be mechanically ventilated who could survive without this form of treatment. |
