Abstract

The vexing problem of pulmonary insufficiency which all too often complicates the recovery of the severely traumatized patient and not uncommonly results in his demise has been a subject of great concern to the surgeons called upon to care for such patients. The advent of the Viet Nam military activity greatly increased the number of patients presenting with this pattern of pulmonary insufficiency. As a result, the Conference on the Pulmonary Effects of Nonthoracic Trauma convened in Washington, D. C., February 29 through March 2, 1968 under the sponsorship of the Committee on Trauma, Division of Medical Sciences of the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council, with the strong support of the Surgeons General of the Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy as well as the United States Public Health Service. The proceedings of that conference were published in the September, 1968 edition of The Journal of Trauma.
