Length of survival after cardiac resuscitation in an intensive care unit.
Seventy-four patients were admitted after cardiac resuscitation to a general intensive care unit; 19, of whom 14 were neurologically normal, were utimately discharged from hospital. It is suggested that elderly patients, those who have had prolonged resuscitation, and patients with a combination of hypothermia, coma, dilated pupils, and apnoea have a very poor prognosis. It is doubtful whether such patients benefit from admission to an intensive care unit.

The I.C.U. treatment of acute laryngotracheobronchitis in a developing country.
The management of 50 children with acute laryngotracheobronchitis (LTB) in a general I.C.U. in a developing country is presented. The overall mortality was 16%, with no patient demising from LTB. It is stressed that LTB in developing countries is a very different disorder to that seen in Western societies, due to complicating factors such as bronchopneumonia, malnutrition and measles. Guidelines for therapy are proposed.

The occurrence of symmetrical gangrene of all 4 extremities after the use of dopamine, subsequent to the administration of egometrine, is described. It is suggested that the concomitant use of these 2 agents should be avoided.

Gastrointestinal absorption studies in cardiac cachexia.
The nutritional status of 11 patients with severe mitral valve disease was investigated pre-operatively and 3 months post-operatively. It was shown that they were malnourished pre-operatively, and that this appeared to be related mainly to anorexia.
