Crile & Lower^s Anoci- Association 



Anooi-association is the prevention of postoperative shook — not its treatment. Anooi- 

 association robs surgery of its harshness, diminishes postoperative mortality, lessens post- 

 operative compUoations (shock, nausea, vomiting, gas pains, backache, nephritis, pneu- 

 monia, etc.). You get here, first of all, a monograph on shock — its kinetic theory, its 

 histologic and clinical pathology, and its treatment. Then follow chapters on the prin- 

 ciples of anoci-association ; the teohnic of its application in the administration of the 

 anesthetic in abdominal operations (gall-bladder, gastric, intestinal operations, herniotomy, 

 perineal operations, abdominal infections, appendicitis, pelvic infections) ; in gynecologic 

 operations (tumors, suspension of uterus, pus tubes), in genito-urinary work (bladder, kid- 

 ney, prostate) ; in operations for cancer of the breast, rectum, stomach, uterus, larynx, and 

 tongue ; in exophthalmic goiter operations; in operations on the brain and the extremities 

 (amputations, osteotomy, accidents) . Then come chapters on anoci-association and blood- 

 pressnre, the relation to postoperative morbidity and mortality, and the technie of nitrous- 

 oxid-oxygen anesthesia with details for equipping a hospital plant for the manufacture of 

 nitrous oxid.

This is a complete work on this subject. You get the history of local anesthesia, a chap- 

 ter on nerves and sensation, giving particular attention to pain — what it is and its 

 psychic control. Then comes a chapter on osmosis and diffusion. Each local anesthetic 

 is taken up in detail, giving very special attention to cocain and novocain, pointing out the 

 action on the nervous system, the value of adrenalin, paralysis caused by cocain anesthesia, 

 control of toxicity. You get Crile's method of administering adrenalin and salt solution. 

 The exact way to produce the intradermal wheal, to pinch the flesh for the insertion of the 

 needle^all shown you step by step. You get full discussions of paraneural, intraneural, 

 and spinal analgesia, intravenous and intra-arterial anesthesia, and Hackenbuck's regional 

 anesthesia by circumferential injections. You get indications, contraindications, an article 

 on anoci-association, with Crile's technie for producing anesthesia. Then the production 

 of local anesthesia in the various regions is taken up in detail, abdominal work covers 50 

 pages, genito-urinary work and hernia another 50 pages. You get local anesthesia for 

 rectal surgery, gynecologic operations and cesarean section. Spinal analgesia and epidural 

 injections are considered in a monograph of 45 pages. There is a large section on dental
