Methaemoglobinaemia induced by mafenide acetate in children. A report of two cases.

The local application of mafenide acetate (Sulfamylon, Winthrop) applied to extensive burn areas resulted in acute methaemoglobinaemia.

The adequacy of oxygenation during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

A series of experiments with eight dogs was carried out to determine the efficiency of oxygenation during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. High oxygen tensions very near to normal levels were found in most dogs, and this was attributed mainly to normal lung function previous to cardiac arrest.
