Cardiac resuscitation of the newborn infant

Cardiac Massage in the Resuscitation of a Stillborn Infant

“…On examination 13 months later the child appeared to be quite healthy. Since then a number of similar successes have been recorded (Epple and Sutherland, 1959;Jacobson and Gjessing, 1960;Rahter and Herron, 1960). The report which follows is a further successful instance of the use of this procedure in such circumstances.…”

“…Fairweather and lUsley (1960) investigated mentally handicapped children born in Aberdeen in 1948 and still living in 1958, and concluded that recognizable obstetric complications made little direct contribution to the total volume of mental handicap. The cases surviving after cardiac massage reported by Halperin (1957), Galos and Surks (1957), Epple and Sutherland (1959), Rahter and Herron (1960), and Jacobson and Gjessing (1960) are all apparently quite normal.…”
