SSO MRRER PETER ~ the reasons our research is so 1@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, Decomber 15, 1961 Way Sought To Save Heart-Defect Babies TORONTO (CP)--Many pre- mature babies born with heart defects are doomed because} doctors don't know how to op- erate on them. "It hasn't been worked out here or any place else how to do this major su: on these fragile bits of life," says John T. Law, administrator of Tor- } and Hospital for Sick Chil- n "It's like trying to run over an egg with a steamroller with- out crushing it. "There is agreement that if surgery could be performed in the newborn age group sig-| nificant number of lives could) be saved -- much more than from many other diseases that occupy our attention. "Already, because of our con- centration on this--and we are just crawling--we are giving much better care and having much better results with our «premature babies. That's one of important." But to maintain research on this problem and on 60 other} projects, the hospital spends more than it receives for the purpose. This year it has ac- cumulated an estimated deficit of $297,000 on research alone. NATIONAL APPEAL By its annual Christmas ap-| peal, the hospital hopes at least to reduce this deficit. | As Canada's leading centre for research into children's ail- ments, and as one of the coun- try's major treatment hospitals pet Service in the church this for children, the Hospital for 'For CGIT's 'At Audley Sick Children hopes for contribu- tions from across the country. Donors of previous years, in- cluding parents across the coun- try whose children have: been restored to health at the hos- pital, are receiving a new ap- peal along with a Christmas card illustrated by a former patient, Michael Dufresne of Callander, Ont Besides money for' research, the hospital needs funds for its out - patient department which last year gave more than 110,000 treatments. "Although the Ontario hospital services plan now covers a large portion of the hospital's in - patient services, the sup- port for out - patient care is limited," says C. L. Gundy, chairman of the board of trus- tees. Mr. Law says research {s be- ing conducted at the hospital "pretty well across the board in children's diseases." A staff of 116, including 100 full-time work- ers, is engaged on such pro- jects as rickets, kidney and liver diseases, respiratory ail- ments, rheumatic fever, treat- ment of burns. Research on heart operations on premature babies is one of the major projects. About 25 per cent of all such babies die, and every one that dies in the first three or four days of life has a heart defect, Mr. Law says. Of all deaths in the first month of life, 10 per cent are caused by heart defects and half of these might be saved if it were possible to perform sur- gery. shortly after birth.
