Infantile paralysis patient births six pound girl in iron lung era
In Chicago, Mrs. Gertrude Epstein, 22, constrained by infantile paralysis, was momentarily moved from an iron lung to deliver a baby girl weighing about six pounds. Doctors, aided by Fred Snite Jr. and a rescue squad, assisted the delivery with a torso respirator and resuscitator before returning the mother to the long iron apparatus. The newborn survived, as did the mother, though her condition remained listed as poor.
