Treatment of the Idiopathic Respiratory-Distress Syndrome with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure

Abstract

Abstract We applied a continuous positive airway pressure to 20 infants (birth weight 930 to 3800 g) severely ill with the idiopathic respiratory-distress syndrome. They breathed spontaneously. Pressure, up to 12 mm of mercury, was delivered through an endotracheal tube to 18 infants and via a pressure chamber around the infant's head to two. Arterial oxygen tension rose in all, permitting us to lower the inspired oxygen an average of 37.5 per cent within 12 hours. Minute ventilation decreased with increased continuous positive airway pressure, but this had little effect on arterial carbon dioxide tension, pH, arterial blood pressure and lung compliance. Sixteen infants survived, including seven of 10 weighing less than 1500 g at birth.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
