A Simple Method of Artificial Respiration

A New Method of Artificial Respiration

The two main recognized methods of artificial respiration, namely, Schafer's and Silvester's, depend for their efficacy on the elastic recoil of the chest wall and diaphragm, which can happen only when the integrity and tonicity of the muscles of the respiration are maintained. Schafer's (1907-8) method consists in Maying the subject prone, and pressing gradually for three seconds with both han...

Artificial Respiration

lowering the arms gave still less favourable results. Howard's direct method of alternately compressing the lower chest wall by the spread hands and letting go sharply was found to cause a much larger air entry, but still below the normal; but it is conducted in the supine attitude which, in many cases, as in drowning, prevent other useful indications from being fulfilled and is sometimes subje...

A Simple Transformation Method in Skewness Reduction

Statistical analysis of non-normal data is usually more complicated than that for normaldistribution. In this paper, a simple root/power transformation technique developed by Niaki, et al [1]is extended to transform right and left skewed distributions to nearly normal. The value of theroot/power is explored such that the skewness of the transformed data becomes almost zero with anacceptable err...
