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.

Physicians Urged
Not To Practice
'sychiatry
London - (Science Service)
The fact that general nr.
titioners are being encouraged
to learn and practice psychia
try on their patients haa
brought a verbal shudder
from a psychiatrist here.
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.

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

familiar names:
Dr. Merle A. Tuve, an ex

ton, and Dr. James A. Van
Allen of State University of
Iowa, discoverer of th. na

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

Navy destroyers, Dr. Tuve
told Science Service. It was
also used on the 103mm how
itzer shell.

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.
