Experiments with the insufflation of thelungs of the stillborn by means of a cathe-ter passed into the trachea, demonstratethat it is impossible to inflate the lungs byair pressure. Rather, there is an earlyrupture with the escape of the air into thepleural cavities which is sufficient todistendthe chest wall. Usually pressure equal to10 mm. of mercury is considered the limitol safety in forcible expansion of the lungsin infancj. Our conclusions as to the efficacy ofinsufflation for faulty respiration are thatthe procedure has no merit, and that ithas the disadvantage of widely distendingthe stomach and intestines.
