التخدير

The object of this work is to afford the opportunity of acquiring a rapidly practical knowledge of “regional anesthesia” and to teach the reader how to use the method successfully.
Local infiltration, as practiced by many surgeons, is a procedure whose usefulness as a substitute for general narcosis for minor operations is universally admitted, but its possibilities in major surgery are so limited that it is necessary to have recourse to another method with broader horizons.
Regional anesthesia fulfills the best conditions hitherto offered for the accomplishment of the most delicate and elaborate surgical procedure.
