Excerpt from Local and Regional Anesthesia: With Chapters on Spinal, Epidural, Paravertebral, and Parasacral Analgesia, and on Other Applications of Local and Regional Anesthesia to the Surgery of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat, and to Dental Practice
For nearly twenty years the control of pain in surgical opera tions by local and regional methods has been the subject of our earnest study. As director of the surgical clinics of the College of Medicine of the Tulane University since 1895, we began to utilize the large clinical material at our command in the effort to diminish the indica tions for general narcosis, and to substitute for the immediate dangers of chloroform, which was then the routine anesthetic in almost all Southern clinics, the more laborious but far safer methods of peripheral analgesia. Beginning with a purely local and peripheral technic, in which intradermal infiltration and massive edematization with dilute isotonic cocain solutions were chiefly utilized, in accordance with the principles laid down by Corning, Halsted, Reclus, and Schleich, we soon advanced from the minor work of the dispensary to the more ambitious fields of major surgery.
