[Risks involved in oxygen therapy in newborns and premature babies (author's transl)].

Oxygen supply in dyspnea syndrome in newborns can produce changes in the retina and fibrotic syndrome in the lungs. Reversal of the changes depends on the duration of exposure to O2 and on the O2 concentration in the inspired air. The mechanism of toxic action are described and additional causes for the development of lung fibrosis discussed. Therapeutic consequences in respect of oxygen treatment of newborns are derived from the results of the study.

[Treatment of hyaline membrane disease by a new method of continuous positive pressure, 1st results].

In this article the authors report their experience with regard to the use of continuous positive pressure by means of a nasal appliance in the treatement of hyaline membrane disease. In addition to mechanical respiratory assistance and economy in the administration of oxygen procured by continuous positive pressure, its use in conjunction with the nasal appliance has led to some progress being made in comparison with the so-called "bag" technique of Martin-Bouyer. In particular, the positive pressure method can be used without undue risk with children weighing less than 2000 grams at birth whereas the "bag" technique has shown itself to be too dangerous for them.
