[Contribution on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism (author's transl)].

In the 50 year period between 1917 and 1966, 915 patients, 0.44% of the total surgical patients at the Surgical Clinic of the University of Jena, died from pulmonary embolism. In 20% of the cases autopsy failed to disclose any thrombus. Among 714 fatal cases of postoperative lung embolism, 43% occurred after abdominal surgery, 18% after surgery on the extremities, and 14% followed urogenital operations. Peak incidence of lung embolism fell on the day of operation and on the 6th, 7th, and 13th postoperative day. Patients at risk of embolism can be identified beforehand. The incidence of pre- and postroperative pulmonary embolism can be reduced to a great extent by specific preventive measures carried out prior to, during, and after surgical intervention. Prevention, diagnosis, and present day treatment of pulmonary embolism are discussed.

[Rise in incidence of pulmonary embolism fatalities among surgical patients and disposing factors involved. Analysis for a 50 year period (author's transl)].

During the 50 year period from 1917 to 1966, 210078 patients were treated in the Surgical Clinic of the University of Jena. Autopsies were carried out on 10083 of the patients which had dies in the Clinic. The average incidence rate of lung embolism was 0.44%, the range of values lying between 0.04% (1917) and 1.02% (1965). In periods of famine or distress, lung embolism reached its lowest point, whereas in periods of relative prosperity a high peak was reached. On the whole, the incidence of pulmonary embolism seem to be the increased age of the patients population and the higher frequency of associated heart and circulatory diseases, obesity, and accidents, as well as the extended indications for surgery in the aged.

[Value of ophthamoneurologic diagnosis in cranio-cerebral injuries of the child].

In recent years, there has been a relatively high incidence of craniocerebral traumas among children. It is essential that careful ophthalmological examinations be made in addition to a general diagnosis, which should preferably be established by surgical means, as well as neurological and roentgenological examinations. The most important criteria of examination are the determination of the absence of external injuries to the eyes, the assessment of the mobility of the eyeball, tests of pupillary reactions, and an evaluation of the eyeground. The results of reexaminations made on 108 children, who had been receiving in-patient treatment, one to five years ago, because of craniocerebral traumas of different degrees of severity, underscore the importance of ophthalmological diagnosis in this particular group of diseases.
