Description
Summary:A sequential, controlled trial was conducted to compare the results of standard supportive care of RDS with those of management in a body-enclosing respirator. No important lowering of survival nor increased incidence of pulmonary or central nervous system complications occurred in the respirator-treated group. Evaluation of the efficacy of respirator care for the respiratory distress syndrome should be carried out in a well organized neonatal intensive care unit staffed by specially trained personnel.
