“…The nasal mask, modified after Buck & McCormack (2) was moulded to fit by means of relining material and was fixed to the infant's nose with surgical cement. The method has been described elsewhere in detail (7). The flow-integrated volume and transpulmonary pressure signals were transmitted to Y and X axis of a cathode ray tube respectively.…”

Summary There is no significant difference in the dynamic V/P loops of the lung between supine position with the head in normal median position, and prone position, i.e. when there is no deformation of the upper airways. In both prone and supine position with flexion or rotation of the head, the slope of the V/P loops was decreased and the width of the loops in creased. In pulmonary function tests special attention should therefore be given to the position of the head in relation to the body.

Ahlstrom, H. (Departments of Paediatrics and Clinical Physiology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden). Pulmonary mechanics in infants surviving severe neonatal respiratory insufficiency. Acta Paediatr Scand, 64: 69, l!HS.-Pulmonary mechanics was studied in 24 survivors of severe neonatal ventilatory insufficiency, 15 infants had idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS), 6 recurrent severe apnoeic spells, and 3 postasphyxia syndrome. Of the infants with IRDS, 5 were treated with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), 3 with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via an endotracheal tube and 7 with CPAP applied via a face chamber. The other infants were all treated with IPPV. IPPV-treated infants generally had lower than expected values of dynamic compliance and pulmonary conductance, particularly after prolonged treatment. AU infants treated with CPAP via a face chamber had normal mechanics, but a trend towards obstruction of the airways after varying periods of time was observed in most infants, irrespective of diagnosis or treatment. One infant treated with CPAP via an endotracheal tube and given pure oxygen for a long time had gross abnormalities suggesting bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Measurement of pulmonary conductance appears to be a reliable prognostic tool as concerns pulmonary symptoms later in infancy.
