The Anaesthetist's Role in the Care of Respiratory Poliomyelitis

NELSON NIX B.SC., M.D., F.A.C.A.1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, Royal Alexandra Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta

An effort has been made to show that the anaesthetist is particularly qualified to assist with the assessment and management of respiratory poliomyelitis, and can contribute materially towards the scientific treatment of this disease. Time has not permitted a detailed discussion of the many facets of this interesting subject, but some of the physiological problems have been outlined and some practical suggestions given. An active poliomyelitis ward is recommended as a first-class laboratory for the study of respiratory physiology and electrolyte balance.

Note:

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, Vancouver, B.C., June 14, 1954.
