A relatively new form of treatment of laryngotracheobronchitis, administration of racemic epinephrine by intermittent positive-pressure breathing, was begun in 1973 in the pediatric unit of a large community hospital. A review of 2 years' experience with this treatment, compared with the experience of the 3 years prior to its introduction, has shown that it has reduced significantly the necessity for tracheostomy, to nearly zero, and the duration of hospital stay. A total of 119 children (33.15% of those admitted) received this treatment, the average number of treatments required being 1.8. There were no important complications of treatment and no deaths.

1973年，在一家大型社区医院的儿科病房开始采用一种相对较新的喉气管支气管炎治疗方法，即通过间歇性正压呼吸给予消旋肾上腺素。回顾采用这种治疗方法的两年经验，并与采用该方法前三年的经验相比较，结果显示，它已将气管切开术的必要性显著降低至几乎为零，并缩短了住院时间。共有119名儿童（占入院儿童的33.15%）接受了这种治疗，平均所需治疗次数为1.8次。治疗过程中未出现重大并发症，也没有死亡病例。
