it took more than a decade-1942 to 1954-to end an iatrogenic epidemic in which high-dose oxygen therapy led to retrolental fibroplasia (RLF) in premature infants, blinding about 10,000 of them. The autopsy revealed a museum of diverse intellectual pathology.\u00a0When first noted, RLF was regarded as neither a new disease nor a postnatal effect. In early investigations, the ophthalmologists did not establish explicit criteria for diagnosis and confused RLF with malformations previously seen in full-term infants. Because the patients were not referred until months after birth, the ophthalmologists assumed that the lesion, which resembled an embryologic structure, must have occurred prenatally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even with the current COVID-19 we can see “live on stage” blinded experts<\/a>. Maybe the “early intubation epidemic<\/a>” is another example with new data published in the ERJ<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
