“…To diagnose TTN, tachypnea (respiratory rate > 60/min) must appear in the first 6 h, and must last for at least 12 h. In addition, the compatible changes (increased ventilation, vascular congestion, fluid at fissures and costophrenic angle, flattened diaphragm) in the chest X‐ray must also be seen, which must respond to 40% or lower oxygen therapy in general. Finally, other diseases which may lead to respiratory distress (hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, polycythemia, meconium aspiration and congenital heart disease) must be eliminated 7–10 …”

“…Finally, other diseases which may lead to respiratory distress (hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, polycythemia, meconium aspiration and congenital heart disease) must be eliminated. [7][8][9][10] During the treatment, the patients are monitored, and oxygen support is given; next patients are closely followed up for tachypnea and other respiratory distress findings. Antibiotherapy is given until the laboratory and culture results arrive, if necessary.…”

“…On the other hand, there were also cases showing the characteristic respiratory symptoms of IRDS, but where no pulmonary hyaline membranes could be found at autopsy (26). Of the 6 mild cases, 4 showed only transient signs of IRDS like the cases reported by Downes et al (7).…”

Summary Clinical findings and results of treatment in a series of 49 premature infants with birth weights between 850 and 1250 g are presented. The “intensive care” included nursing in incubators with high environmental humidity maintaining skin temperature at 36.5°C, umbilical catheterisation (both arterial and venous), intravenous glucose infusions, correction of metabolic acidosis by rapid sodium bicarbonate infusions, oxygen therapy and finally endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The series was divided into 3 categories according to the severity of respiratory symptoms. There was only one survivor out of 12 cases in the category of severe RD, whereas 14 of 21 with moderate RD and 9 of 16 with slight or no RD survived. The overall survival rate was 45%. The correlation between clinical findings, arterial blood gases and pH, chest X‐rays, response to treatment and outcome in each of the 3 categories is discussed. The preliminary data from our follow‐up studies indicate that there are only a few cases showing signs of permanent brain injury at the age of two years.

Summary Dr. John J. ‘Jack’ Downes (1930–), the anesthesiologist‐in‐chief at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (1972–1996), has made numerous contributions to pediatric anesthesia and critical care medicine through a broad spectrum of research on chronic respiratory failure, status asthmaticus, postoperative risks of apnea in premature infants, and home‐assisted mechanical ventilation. However, his defining moment was in January 1967, when The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia inaugurated its pediatric intensive care unit—the first of its kind in North America. During his tenure, he and his colleagues trained an entire generation of pediatric anesthesiologists and intensivists and set a standard of care and professionalism that continues to the present day. Based on an interview with Dr. Downes, this article reviews a career that advanced pediatric anesthesia and critical care medicine and describes the development of that first pediatric intensive care unit at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
