What reading level is Preventable Diseases book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our only resource in this form of the disease used to be by mechanical or surgical means, opening the windpipe below the level of the obstruction and insert- ing a curved silver tube — the so-called tracheotomy operation ; or later, and less heroic, by pushing forcibly down into the larynx, and through and past the obstruc- tion at the vocal cords, a small metal tube through which the child could manage to breathe. This was known as intubation. But these were both distressing and painful method...s, and, what was far worse, piti- fully broken reeds to depend upon. In spite of the utmost skill of our surgeons, from fifty to eighty per cent of cases that were tracheotomized, and from forty to sixty per cent of those that were intubated, died.
240 PREVENTABLE DISEASES In many cases they were enabled to breathe, their attacks of suffocation were relieved — but still they died.
This leads us to the most important single fact about the course of the disease, and that is that the chief source of danger is not so much from direct suffocation as from general collapse, and particularly failure of the heart.
