Control of pulmonary hemorrhage by intravenous use of pituitrin.

Abstract

Pituitrin(R) is the best available drug for control of severe pulmonary hemorrhage. It must be used intravenously to be effective. Untoward effects are minimal and transient if the technique described is scrupulously followed. It can be used immediately for control of pulmonary hemorrhage from whatever cause. An adequate diagnosis of the pulmonary condition responsible for the hemorrhage must then be made.
