ANEURYSM 



noid method. It consists in the injection of a solution 

 of cocain hydrochlorate into the subarachnoid space 

 through a puncture made in the lumbar or lumbosacral 

 region. Crile's (Geo. W.) Blocking Method, 

 identical in principle and technic with the Coming-Bier 

 method except that it is applied at a higher level, by 

 injecting the brachial plexus in the supraclavicular 

 space. Cushing's Method, the morphin-cocain- 

 chloroform-anesthesia ; in addition to a preliminary 

 hypodermic of morphin the local anesthetic action of 

 cocain or other local analgesic is preceded or supple- 

 mented by the effects of a general inhalation-anesthetic, 

 such as chloroform. Edinburgh Method, consists 

 in giving as little chloroform as will bring about rapid 

 and complete narcosis as evinced by lack of reflexes 

 and muscular excitability. Franck-Rosenberg's 

 Method, the preliminary cocainization of the nares be- 

 fore the use of chloroform. Gerster's Method. Same 

 as Franck- Rosenberg* s Method. Heinze and Braun's 

 Solution for general infiltration : /3-eucain, o. I ; 

 sodium chlorid, 0.8 ; distilled water, 100. High- 

 frequency Currents are used in dental surgery ; 300,- 

 000 alterations per second and 150 to 200 milliamperes. 

 Hydrogen Dioxid injected under the epidermis is re- 

 commended for complete and immediate anesthesia. 

 Infiltration, Neural Method, preliminary infiltra- 

 tion of the derm precedes the cocainization of the nerve- 

 fibers which supply the area of the operation. Intra- 

 neural Method, after preliminary anesthesia of the 

 skin the large nerve-trunks that supply the region are 

 brought to view by dissection, and are directly injected 

 with the needle. Isotonic Solution, in anesthesia,' 

 any solution of the same specific gravity and the same 

 freezing-point as the normal tissue ; it can be employed 

 without causing pain from osmotic disturbances. 

 Kocher's Method. Same as Poitou- Duplessy" s 

 Method. Korff' s Method, a modification of Schneider- 

 lin's, in that the use of hypodermic injections of scopo- 

 lamin hydrobromate, 4 dmg. ( 1-161 gr.), and 

 morphin, 1 eg. (1-7 gr. ), is followed by the adminis- 

 tration of a few drops of chloroform by . the mask. 

 Krogin's Method. Same as Obersf s Method. Rum- 

 mer's Method of local anesthesia, the application of 

 an elastic constrictor to intensify the action of ether 

 spray. Lohmann's (W.) Solution, 4% /3-eucain 

 solution with 8% of sodium chlorid. Luxenburger's 

 Solution, a 2 y solution of nirvanin. M. S. Mixture, 

 ether, 57 parts; chloroform, 43 parts. Oberst's 

 Method of inducing local anesthesia: the injection of 

 a weak solution of cocain along the nerve-trunks sup- 

 plying the parts. Paraneural Method, the anes- 

 thetizing solution is injected in the vicinity of the nerve- 

 trunk or as closely as possible to the nerve supplying 

 the area of operation. Poitou-Duplessy's Method, 

 the use of ethyl bromid as a preliminary to etherization. 

 Reclus' Solution, a 2 ft >?-eucain solution. Schleich 

 Infiltration Method, local anesthesia produced by 

 the hypodermic injection of cocain, combined with a 

 weak salt solution, and by the addition of a little 

 morphin the anesthetic action is prolonged. (Co- 

 cain hydrochlorate, I }A gr. ; morphin hydrochlorate, 

 )/$ gr. ; common salt, 3 gr. , dissolved in 3 ounces 

 and 3 drams of sterilized water. ) Schleich Method 

 for General Anesthesia, the administration of small 

 doses of chloroform, petroleum ether, and sulfuric ether. 

 Schneiderlin's Method, the use of a combination 

 of scopolamin hydrobromate (hydrobromate of 

 hyoscin), 3 dmg. (=.1-200 gr.), and morphin. I eg. 

 (=1-7 gr. V To be administered hypodermically and 

 repeated after I or 2 hours. It is asserted to be ab- 

 solutely free from danger to life. Scopolamin-mor- 

 phin. See Korff' s Method. Spinal Subarachnoid 



Method. See Corning- Bier Method. Tait and 

 Caglieri's Method, spinal cocainization by inji 

 of cocain in the sixth cervical intervertebral space. 

 Tuffier's Method. See Coming-Bier Method, 

 Wohlgemuth's Method, the use of oxygen combined 

 with chloroform by means of a special apparatus.

 sist of ethyl chlorid, 5 parts ; methyl chlorid, 1 part.
