Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conditions Underlying the Infection of Wounds That the presence of certain kinds of bacteria is an essential condi tion of wound infection is a fact so well established, and so generally recognized, that no discussion as to this point is likely to arise in this assembly. The practical results of the application of this doctrine to the management of wounds are the most eloquent testimony to its life saving truth. The recognition of this truth, even before its complete demonstration, and the introduction of methods of wound treatment based upon it, will remain the immortal merit of Lister, even although every detail of his treatment be replaced by measures found by riper experience to be better suited to the purpose. The simple conception which was the basis of early antiseptic proced ures in surgery - that a wound to which bacteria gain access becomes infected in the same way as a sterilized infusion of meat undergoes putrefaction when a single suitable germ enters - has been greatly modified. Furthermore, it is found that the traumatic infections pre sent their own peculiar problems, which must be studied by them selves, and cannot be solved by analogies drawn from observations of other specific infections, such as anthrax and the septicaemias of the lower animfls. The study of wound infections involves the considera tion of many varying and often complicated factors, relating both to the agents of infection and to the individual exposed to infection. Without consuming time with any historical review, I shall proceed at once to indicate some of the questions which are of especial import ance, and which may be profitably considered in this discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Treatment of Infected Wounds I Have been asked to write an Introduction to the English edition of the work by Dr. A. Carrel and Dr. G. Dehelly, and I am glad to take the opportunity of expressing the appreciation of British surgeons at the Front of the value of what is known to us as "Carrel's Method." Whenever it has been thoroughly carried out it has accomplished all that is claimed for it by its author, and it has been of inestimable benefit to thousands of patients. It has also renewed faith in antiseptic methods, in spite of the attacks on their utility which characterised the early stages of the war, and has done the greatest good by setting a high standard of thorough excision and surgical cleanliness. The whole practice of war surgery has been greatly improved by Dr. Carrel's confidence that antiseptic treatment can sterilise a septic wound, and that it does do so if sufficient care and skill are bestowed upon it; and the lesson he has taught was very necessary. The book itself will be found to convey in the clearest manner the knowledge of those details which have been so carefully elaborated by the patient work of two years' experience, but it is only by scrupulous attention to every detail that the best results will be obtained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wounds of Animals and Their Treatment Wounds of animals, at the time of their origin, do not differ to any extent from those of man; but the conditions under which animals live, combined with their natural opposition to human interference, necessitate a considerable modification of the treatment to be adopted. Fortunately, nowadays, the role played by Nature in the repair of wounded tissues is more nearly realized than in the past, and we, in common with our sister profession, have learnt that our earlier efforts may have been better in intention than in actual fact. In other words, we realize that we are unable by means of external applications to "heal" a wound; but that, having ascertained the method that Nature herself adopts to secure this end, we may assist her when circumstances arise which may delay or circumvent her object. Unfortunately, in animals, even were a wound known to be aseptic at its commencement, we should have no opportunity of maintaining this condition. Even with the best possible surroundings animals cannot be kept as clean as the average human being; their bedding and their stables or kennels are always infected, and so secondary infection is quite unavoidable.
