Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Some of the Uses of Antiseptics in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Dr. 1. R. Chadwick, of Boston, recommends the following method of intra-uterine injection which is safe, and its general adoption might prevent many of the accidents now reported Dr. Chadwick says. Injections into the vagina should be made with the patient lying upon her Side until the ?uid begins to ooze from the vulva. The patient is then gradually turned upon her face while the injection into the vagina is continued; by this plan the vagina is distended to its utmost, as in the knee and elbow position, while the uterus gravitates into the abdominal cavity and allows the ?uid to ?ow through the patulous cervical canal into the cavity of the organ with the force of pneumatic pressure, any air thus forced into the vagina by the syringe will remain in the vagina, and thus the possible danger of its passage into the uterine sinuses be avoided.
