...Ochsner innovation is the special recovery room to which patients are taken immediately after operations. Each bed is piped for oxygen; emergency equipment like blood plasma is at hand; nurses are always in the room; relatives and friends are kept out. The room is Ochsner's pride...
Last week, at 76, Orville suffered a heart attack. Lung congestion developed. Late one night, under an oxygen tent in the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, death came to Orville Wright, begetter...
...results may be "utterly devastating." The body's smallest blood vessels are barely wide enough to let a single red cell squeeze through. When red cells clump, they plug these bottlenecks and deprive tissues of food and oxygen. The tissue cells die. When sludged blood kills important tissues, the patient dies...
Down without Effort. Once you're out, Baldwin says, there isn't enough air to breathe. A special bottle of oxygen may fix that. But the "opening shock" at high altitudes is too great to risk. It is better to fall into denser air before using the parachute. Wright Field has developed a gadget that opens the chute at the proper altitude, whether the pilot is conscious...
...Matilda M. Brooks, a University of California physiologist, discovered in 1932 that the drug known as methylene blue counteracts the oxygen starvation caused by certain poisons (cyanide, carbon monoxide). Acting as a catalyst, the drug improves oxygen absorption by the red blood cells, thereby helping the body to make the most of a curtailed oxygen supply. Recently Dr. Brooks journeyed to Peru, where travelers in the high Andes are subject to soroche, a common fainting sickness caused by lack of oxygen (TIME, June 23). Dr. Brocks took some medical students up to an altitude of 15,000 feet and gave...
