Studies on Neonatal Tetanus, and on Pulmonary Compliance of the Totally Relaxed Infant

Methods of Investigation of the Mechanics of Breathing in the Artificially Ventilated Newborn

“…Other values have been reported by Sm y t h e [16] (2.5 ml/cm H20 ), O k m ia n [10] (2.7 ml/cm H ,0) and R ic h a r d s et al [13] (4.9 ml/cm H20 ). These later larger values have been observed in anesthetized newborns and were measured 10 s after the injection of the air into the lung.…”

Summary of Conference Proceedings

“…Artificial ventilation of newborns whose lungs are normal, for example in tetanus neonatorum or central nervous system depression, has been resoundingly successful as our colleagues from South Africa have shown so successfully [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] (table I).…”

Long-term follow up on patients with neonatal tetanus

“…It is generally believed thal tetanus does not leave neurological sequelael, but some studies found about 10% cases with neurological sequelae2'3, and brain necropsy showed severe dég.n".ution or disappearance of the neuron. Significant neurological sequelae were found in 4 out of 9 survivors4, mild mental retardation were found in 2 …”
