Internationaler Buchtitel. In englischer Sprache. Verlag: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 388 Seiten, L=152mm, B=229mm, H=22mm, Gew.=567gr, Kartoniert/Broschiert, Klappentext: Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: Artificial respiration.?If, on the arrival, the child be found apparently dead, the medical man should at once set about the performance of artificial respiration by slow, alternating pressure of the hand, and relaxation, upon the chest walls. No case should be left without a trial of this measure. CHAPTER III. TRACHEOTOMY. Tracheotomy is likely to be one of the first operations the young practitioner is called upon to perform. It is often demanded after daylight, and when skilled assistance is out of reach. The operator may consider himself fortunate if he have a friend to administer chloroform and to lend a hand with sponge or hook, and a nurse to hold a candle. Even with the most competent surgeon, the operation does not always go smoothly; but one must meet difficulties with equanimity, and doggedly proceed to open the trachea and insert the tube. Even if the chloroformist exclaim, when the operation is but half-way through, that the child is dead, the surgeon should not be disconcerted; the tube must be introduced. Statistics are of no avail in the appreciation of the operation; each case is to be treated on its merits. If a child be writhing in the agony of dyspnoea, or lying exhausted under the physical exertion of fruitless attempts to inflate the lungs, the trachea must be opened. The unhappy parents are greatly to be pitied in these circumstances; suddenly overwhelmed with despair, they may be unable to consent to, and unwilling to forbid a procedure which, after all, holds forth a somewhat slender prospect of recovery. It isthen for the practitioner gently and persuasively to show that the child must not bo allowed to die of sheer suffocation, and that the only chance of bringing him through even the immediate crisis is by admitting air into the wind-pipe b...<
