Synopsis

This book, first published in 1878, provides an extensive and theoretically robust examination of the treatment of rising body temperatures in surgical patients. The author, an esteemed medical professional, takes up the recent emergence of clinical thermometry, a technique that uses specialized thermometers to take temperature measurements, to monitor fevers in patients. Drawing on his own practice, the author makes a case for the efficacy of surface cooling using water to lower high temperatures, especially in patients recovering from ovariotomy, an abdominal surgery common at the time. The author provides extensive case studies and concrete evidence to bolster his argument and his method has since become an integral part of post-operative care.
