title: [Hyaline membrane disease. Results of treatment using continuous positive pressure of the airways, with or without ventilatory assistance].
abstract: Eighty cases of hyaline membrane disease were treated with continuous positive pressure at the respiratory tract level. In 35 cases, the method of the bag was used. Failure occurring in 33% of the cases required assisted respiration. In 45 cases, patients were intubated and in 43 of these mechanical ventilation was used. In spite of the severity of these clinical types, the survival rate was around 90%. It is concluded that there is evidence for early continuous positive pressure.
