Toward the treatment of tetanus. R. Heim (Klin. Woch., 1928, No. 17)

Abstract

Р. Heim obtained very good results from intravenous infusions of 40 to 70 cc. 10% Na bicarbonici solution with simultaneous administration of 30-40 gm of soda per os. Already the first infusion leads to reduction of tetanic convulsions, which, however, after 3 - 5 hours return. Repetition of the infusion the next day leads to a more significant improvement, and so on, until, after 3-4 weeks, there is no complete recovery. Out of 6 cases of the author, such an outcome was observed in 5, and only in one case death occurred on the 4th day of the disease.
