✦ Synopsis

A prospective trial of layered versus mass closure of laparotomy wounds was performed on 507 infants and children over a 33 month period. All wounds were sutured using polyglycolic acid sutures. There were four wound failures including one disruption in the layered closure group and one wound failure in the mass closure group. The incisional hernias healed spontaneously. Either method of closure yields good results and non-absorbable sutures are unnecessary.

The aim of the present study was to compare the output of a breath-synchronized jet nebulizer to a conventional constant output nebulizer over a fixed period of time in terms of inhaled mass of budesonide, i.e., the amount of budesonide deposited on a filter interposed between the nebulizer and the
