E. Ulrich. On the issue of prevention and treatment of postoperative pneumonia with quinine-calcium. (Zbl. F. Ghir., 1936, 38, 2244-2247)

Based on his observations, a. indicates that as a result of the prophylactic administration of quinine-calcium on the day of surgery and on the next two days, the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications is reduced by about three times, and the developing complications are relatively easy (in 2/3 cases, it was only about simple bronchitis); in cases where the prophylactic administration of quinine-calcium was not produced, the vast majority of postoperative complications were pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. A. also reports on the good results of the use of quinine-calcium as a remedy for bronchitis, pneumonia and bronchopneumonia. Using Sandoz quinine calcium, as well. for prophylactic purposes, it injects it into the muscles of the gluteal region in an amount of 10 cm3 on the day of surgery, 2 times 10 cm3 the next day and another 10 cm3 on the second day after surgery.
