The AHtfsepsss Method Wh3<h II. 8ooa17
Advocates and Adopts.
A new and simple mode e treatment
kas been introduced in France by which.
it is claimed, large properties of in
jured limbs now usually amputated can
be saved The method, which Is due to
DR.. Reclus, was recently described be-
fore the French congress of surgery and
is thus explained:
Whatever the extent or gravity Of
the LESSONS, he (Dr. Reclus) never, un-
der any circumstances, amputates the
injured limb, but merely wraps it in
antiseptic substances by yeritable en-
bal1ning process, leaving nature to sep
arate the dead from the living tissues.
This method of treatment possesses the
double advantage of being much less IA
tai than surgical ex8resis and Of pre-
serving for the use of the patient, if not
the entire limb, at any rate a much
larger part than would be left after am
putation. He advocates this very con-
sentative treatment On account of the
excellent effects Of hot water, which he
uses freely. After the skin has been
shaved and cleansed from all fatty sub
stances by ether, etc., in the usual way,
a Jet Of hot water so to SO degrees c.
GAO to LA degrees), bat not higher, is
made to irrigate all she injured surfaces
and to penetrate into all the hollows
and 1ndsr eli the detached parts Of the
wound, without exception. This is the
only wsy of removing all eiots and to
wash away all foreign bodies, together
with the micro-organisms they may con-
tain. The advantages Of hot water at
this high temperature are threefold-(1)I
hot water at this temperature is anti
septic; heat greatly increases the poten-
cy of sntiseptic substances; (2) it is
hemostatic THAT is, shameless the flow
Of blood; (5) it helps to compensate
for the loss of heat resulting from the
bleeding, and especially from the trau-
matte shock. After the embalmine
process and the dead tissue has beer
separated from the living the surgeon
has nothing to DO except to divide the
bone at a suitable spot According to
Reclus, the results obtained are remark
able. Hospital
