...Defenders (CBS, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). The Prestons go to Fire Island for the weekend, encounter a poltergeist and a murder. Guests include Mary Astor, Patrick O'Neal and Joan Hackett. Repeat...
...surprise to the battery of physicians at Otis Air Force Base last week that the baby soon to be baptized Patrick Bouvier Kennedy (see THE NATION) had difficulty drawing his first breath. Like one out of every 15 U.S. babies, this one was premature, and the greater the degree of prematurity, the greater the danger that a baby's lungs will not inflate properly. Patrick also had a second strike on him: the danger of breathing difficulty is still greater for a premature baby delivered by caesarean section...
Mysterious Membrane. It is usually possible to tell within an hour after birth whether a preemie (or occasionally a full-term baby) is running into respiratory difficulties. His breathing gets faster and shallower; he may grunt on every exhalation or froth at the lips. In Patrick Kennedy's case, Pediatrician James Drorbaugh saw enough alarming signs to order him rushed, in an Isolette, to Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston...
...Patrick Kennedy's case, the extra oxygen in his Isolette was not enough. Dr. Drorbaugh called in an imaginative Harvard colleague, Pediatric Surgeon William F. Bernhard, who has pioneered in the use of a hyperbaric (high-pressure) chamber to drench a patient's system with oxygen (TIME, Feb. 15). Developed by the Navy for training submariners and decompressing divers, the 29-ft. by 8-ft. tank has three compartments, can hold as many as seven doctors, nurses and technicians as well as the patient...
With its main door open, the chamber was at normal atmospheric pressure when a nurse picked up Baby Patrick and carried him inside, still in his Isolette. Drs. Drorbaugh and Bernhard went in too. Technicians locked the doors tight and turned on pure oxygen under pressure. Soon the baby and his squad of hovering attendants in an inner compartment were breathing almost pure oxygen at a pressure of three atmospheres. At this pressure, oxygen dissolves more readily into the fluid part of the blood (like carbon dioxide dissolving in water to make soda). The doctors hoped that this extra oxygen...
