About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Medical Brief, Vol. 39: A Monthly Journal of Practical Medicine and Surgery; January, 1911

Let us elaborate a little. In the matter of technique, it is a simple proceeding to open a superficial vein: and Nature makes an equally simple job of repairing the slight puncture needed to inject a few cubic centimeters Of fluid. Modern mechanics have put into our hands an almost perfect syringe with which to make the puncture with the minimum of laceration, and to inject the fluid without the introduction of air. In the present state of our knowledge about asepsis, and our facilities for carrying it out, the most moderate care will preclude the possibility of infection. The whole procedure is easy, quick, all but painless, and free from risk. Certainly, technique can no longer stand in the way of intravenous medication.
