[Circadian rhythm in response to surgery and postoperative complications in childhood (author's transl)].

The influence of operation and post-op. course on the circadian periodicity was examined in 27 children. The parameters chosen were heart-rate, respiratory rate, blood-pressure and temperature. Measurements were taken over 6.1 days on average, of which 5.1 days were post-op. 5-minute values were used in the evaluation. It could be proved that the circadian periodicity is disturbed by the operation. Resumption depended on the gravity of the operation, and on the further clinical course. Studies of the circadian periodicity may provide a contribution to research on operation-trauma.

[Anatomical considerations in sternal puncture].

The thickness of the manubrium, the width and thickness of the body of the sternum at the level of second intercostal space as well as the thickness of the spongiosa and outer and inner compact layers have been measured in 67 human cadavers. Consequently, it is recommended that sternal puncture be made at the level of the second intercostal space in the adult and at the manubrium in children. Depth of puncture should not exceed 4 mm. Sternal puncture can thereby be done with greater confidence of avoiding penetration of the sternum, a potentially serious complication.
