Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The After-Treatment of Operations: Manual for Practitioners and House Surgeons
I have attempted in the present manual to put the subject in a useful and practical form for ready reference by those who, having to treat such cases, wish to know what complications may be expected, and how they are to be met when present.
The after-treatment of operation cases adopted by different surgeons varies very considerably. But as no good purpose would be served by a recital of all the different methods, I have given in each case that line of treatment which seems to be the most practical, and have avoided entering into any discussion upon the relative merits of the different forms of treatment sometimes adopted.
In the chapter on shock, a short description of the more recent physiology of this condition has been included, in the hope that it may assist the reader in the treatment of this most important complication.
