CASE OF COMBINED TREATMENT OF SEVERE BOTULISM USING CONTROLLED RESPIRATION

Abstract

Severe forms of botulism may have a fatal ending due to bulbar paralyses, but the immediate cause of death is the respiratory impairment. Presently, the respiratory apparatus has found many therapeutic usages, whereby the optimum gaseous metabolism can be maintained for a long time in a patient who has lost spontaneous respiration. Thus, by applying a controlled respiration in a combined treatment of severe botulism, a patient's life was saved from a threatened asphyxia.
