“…Norlander and associates report that the incidence of pulmonary oedema has decreased since the adoption of left atrial venting during operation. Buckley, van Bergen and Theil (1960), in a discussion of postoperative treatment following open-heart surgery, advise the use of IPPR in severe pulmonary congestion. On the other hand, Lyons, DuShane and Kirklin (1960) state that whole body perfusion need not be accompanied by an undue incidence of pulmonary oedema or excessive tracheobronchial secretions.…”

(1) A description has been given of the use of tracheostomy and IPPR in the treatment of twenty-five cases suffering from respiratory and circulatory complications after open-heart surgery. (2) In patients suffering from respiratory abnormalities, results were good. In those with a derangement of the circulation results were poor. However, it was concluded that therapy in this group is often justified. (3) Although arterial blood gas determinations are of value, the decision to use artificial ventilation must be based on a consideration of the history and clinical state in addition to the biochemical data. The use of intermittent positive pressure respiration (IPPR) in the treatment of ventilatory inadequacy after thoracic surgery is well docu
