Full Term Infant

Chairman Sanford: Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Commissioner of Health of Chicago, organized 12 years ago the "Chicago Premature Plan." This consists in registering all premature infants with the City Health Department within a few hours after birth. The premature infant who is born at home, or in a hospital that does not have adequate premature care, is transported in an oxygenated incubator ambulance to a hospital which specializes in such care. From 1936 to 1947 premature infant deaths in Chicago have been lowered 6½%. The full term infant death rate during the same period has been lowered about 3%. Inasmuch as the premature death rate has been lowered about double that of the full term infant rate, we believe this procedure has been the cause of reduction. In 1936 there were 47,000 live births in Chicago. In 1947 there were 82,000, or an increase of 80%. In this number the full term infants increased from 45% to 60%, whereas the premature infants increased from 2000 to over 5000, or about 140% increase of premature infants born in Chicago during the last 10 years. This adds a considerable increase to the number of infants for our available premature infants beds. Where formerly we planned 5 premature births to each 100 full term births, we now find that prematures have increased to 8 per 100 full term infants. Causes of prematurity are multiple births, toxemia, heart disease, syphilis, tuberculosis, infections, accidents, premature separation of the placenta and abnormalities of the reproduction tract. It is generally understood that there is a tendency for more premature births among the Negro race than the white race.

Full Term Infant

The case reported by Drs. Keidel and Feingold of Wilson Mikity Disease in a full-term infant indeed had meconium aspiration as a component. However, the baby went on to have oxygen dependency for at least a month following birth. This of course differs entirely from the syndrome of meconium aspiration. Moreover, the case was reviewed by Dr. Arnold Rudolph and Dr. Victor Mikity who read the x-rays personally. There is no doubt that the case report is valid and can clearly be differentiated from the course of the two infants that Dr. Cohen reported.

Changing Trends

To the Editor.— In a recent article,1 Bloom discussed the problem of future reductions in infant mortality. He has proposed three ways of meeting this problem: by determining the efficacy, effectiveness, and cost of each intervention in medical care, by substituting less expensive interventions in place of more expensive care, and by separating social solutions from medical solutions for illness. We appreciate his proposals, but we find that such an approach rules out the following two steps: (1) It is necessary to have a better understanding of the current changing trends in neonatal and postneonatal mortality.

Neonatal Respiratory Distress

Hemothorax that produces acute respiratory distress in a newborn occurs rarely; only ten cases have been reported.1-9 We report another case (associated with hypoprothrombinemia and anemia) in a full-term infant. Thoracentesis successfully relieved the respiratory distress, and transfusion and parenteral vitamin K therapy reversed the bleeding diathesis. CASE REPORT A girl, weighing 3,070 gm, was born to a 30-year-old woman, after spontaneous labor and uncomplicated delivery. The Apgar score was 7 at one and five minutes. The infant was brought to the nursery at 10 minutes of age, where she was found to be a cyanotic black girl with grunting respirations and intercostal retractions.
