' MAIL TRIIUNt. Madferd, Or. ' Thursday, April 14, 1940 Anesthetists Often Wrongly Blamed for Deaths Washington (Science Serv ice) The person who admin isters the anesthetic during surgery Is often wrongly blamed for deaths that occur during or after an operation, pathologist charged here. Operating room mortalities are so "loosely" reported that the exact cause of death is often overlooked. Many are erroneously recorded as an esthetic deaths, Dr. Joseph E. Campbell, pathologist of the office of the Cook county coroner, Chicago, told col leagues attending a meeting of the International Anesth esia Research Society here. Results of Study He based this conclusion on the results of a joint 30-month post-mortem study in Phila delphia with Dr. William A. Weiss, District of Columbia General Hospital. Washington, and Dr. Frederic Rieders of the Office of the Medical Ex aminer In Philadelphia. The study showed that of 645 deaths reported associated with anesthesia, the pain-kill ers were the sole or major factor in only 28 of these deaths. When a post-mortem exam ination fails to reveal the cause of death, It is usually presumed that the anesthetist was at fault and lacked tne necessary skill for his Job. This conclusion Is entirely un justified, Dr. Campbell said. The anesthesiologist should not be blamed for the In- adequaices of the examining pathologist, he added. Not Adequate Method In the first place, a routine hospital autopsy is not an adequate method of determin ing the cause of death. The anesthesiologist can be pro tected from erroneous assump tions, however. Dr. Campbell suggested that compulsory re porting of such cases to the medico - legal agency with post-mortem studies would of fer such protection. No death should be attributed to ex cessive anesthesia unless an autopsy, by scientific findings, confirms this as the sole or major cause, he said. Chemists Gel Book Made by Computer Cleveland -(Science Serv ice)- The first copies of a chemical Journal compiled by an electric computer are being received by the 7,000 chemists registering here for the 137th national meeting of the Amer ican Chemical society. The "electronic editor" that has begun speeding the flow of chemical Information to clentis ts throughout the world is an International Bus iness Machines corporation computer trained to Index thousands of articles from leading chemical Journals. The end-product is a 104 page semimonthly publication, "Chemical Titles." The computer-made journal makes it possible for the first time to print an Indexed bibliography of scientific literature less than three weeks old. During the eight-day Amer ican Chemical society meet ing, chemists and chemical en gineers will hear up-to-date reports on such subjects as the chemistry of life processes, the composition of the solar system, and the Industrial, so cial and political implica tions of chemical progress. New Drug Reduces Epileptic Seizures Coral Gables, Fla. -(Science Service)- A Swiss-made drug appears to be twice as effec tive in preventing epileptic seizures as other, currently used anticonvulsants, a team of doctors reported here. The drug, Librium, has been tested for six months by Dr. Samuel Kalm of the de partment of psychiatry, Dade County veterans Administra tion hospital here, and Dr. Ira Roscnstcin. They discovered its effect as an anticonvulsant while using It as a general tranquili zer. Epileptic patients showed a marked reduction In epilep tic seizures. Since that discov ery, the drug has been given to 24 epileptic patients; 23 have responded to the treat ment and one has shown no change.

The pitfalls of such a train ing program for physicians are many. Past experience as shown that persons who exercise psychotherapy with out an extensive background in the subject can do a great deal of harm. Usually, these persons are not aware of the implied assumptions that play a significant role In dynamic therapy, Dr. N. MeConaghy of the Royal Melbourne Hospi tal, reported in the British journal Lancet. For example, It was recent ly the fashion to believe that great deal of a person's problems stemmed from his or her early childhood exper iences. The idea caught on. Emphasis of the positive role was minimized. Thus, chil dren were encouraged to In dulge and parents followed the harmful concept of "per missive" upbringing, he said. Sanger Exists Now, Dr. MeConaghy said, the danger exists that a po tentially harmful form of psychiatry will become avall- ble to general practitioners. He referred here to the "dy namic psycho therapeutic" methods which emphasize that the patient talk out his prob lems but receive no advice from the doctor. The British psychiatrist ex pressed the fear that general practitioners will be discour aged from using "directive psychotherapy." This type of therapy requires the doctor to suggest steps the patient can tBke and offer advice. The implication is that the dy namic is more gentle than the directive approach, but Dr. MeConaghy maintained that the inexperienced can cause more harm than good with this technique. Therefore, he concluded, it would appear to be better to reserve the dy namic approach for carefully chosen patients, and retain the old patient - doctor rela tionship for the majority. long Secret Satellite Device Told in Patent Washington - (Science Serv ice) - The long-secret device by which data are radioed from satellites and apace probes to earth was finally published this week as It re ceived patent No. 2,931,897, assigned to the U.S. Govern ment through the Secretary of the Navy. The inventors hav. familiar names: Dr. Merle A. Tuve, an ex pert In geophysics, who di rects the Department of Ter restrial Magnetism at the Car negie Institution of Washing ton, and Dr. James A. Van Allen of State University of Iowa, discoverer of th. na tural radiation belts around the earth. Drs. Tuve and Van Allen developed the device In 1943 while working with the war time Office of Scientific Re search and Development at the Applied Physics Labora tory of Johns Hopkins Uni versity. Used en Test Missile The device was first used to radio air drag, pressure and flight data on the five Inch, 38-caliber shell used by Navy destroyers, Dr. Tuve told Science Service. It was also used on the 103mm how itzer shell. men in ana ma it was used on test missiles that later became the Navy's Aero bee and Terrier. The tests were mad. off Virginia Beach. The device converts pres sure and other mechanical signals into radio signals that can be received at ground sta tions. It Is housed In a rugged cone. The spinning of th. pro jectile flips out two antennas. Although an application for a patent was filed In 1943, th. granting of the patent, wnicn involves publication, was held up until details of th. devlc. were declassified.
