The results of a quinquennial audit of trauma care in the Cambridge Military Hospital using the TRISS method is presented. 113 cases were analysed. The mean age was 32 years and the mean Injury Severity Score 16. Twenty-five deaths occurred of which 12 were potentially preventable. Means of reducing the number of preventable deaths are discussed.
A carefully selected sample of 18 3-day-old full term neonates was videotaped in 3 different positions. The time of taping was controlled for feed interval. These tapes were then analysed for state and posture using a frame by frame facility. Seventy one separate postures were documented and the existence of a 'neutral posture' was noted. These postures will provide a baseline for further work in adult-infant interaction.
