CARBON-DIOXIDE NARCOSIS THERAPY
Abstract
The use of carbon dioxide narcosis therapy is reported using 75 cases as a base for discussion. Statistical analysis is not attempted, but the reactions of some patients are described. The experience of 2 of the investigators who took a long series of the treatments is reported. The variation in effect in different patients at different times is emphasized; so also is the value of the method in promoting rapport, insight, relaxation, and management of the patient. The individual treatment is compared to a brief, elective, controllable toxic psychosis.
