Présentation de l'éditeur
Professor Hirschel s Text-book of Local A naesthesia, I may be permitted to make a few remarks regarding the translation itself. It is well to define the terms one uses, so as to avoid all misapprehension. In this connection I may mention that I have throughout employed the term conductionanaesthesia instead of the more usual rendering regional anaesthesia, as it seems to me that the former gives a more correct rendering of the German term Leitungsanaesthesie, and further corresponds more nearly to such terms as infiltration-anaesthesia, spinal anaesthesia, epidural anaesthesia, c. As regards the anatomical terminology, I have mainly employed the new terminology, as the plates of the German work were marked in this manner. Where there was any possibility of ambiguity, I have added the old terms in brackets. I have also used the decimetric system throughout., The German original had no Index ;I have thought it well to add one. The operations are collected under one heading, Operations, and in some instances under their regional headings. The references to the technique for the induction of local anaesthesia by interrupting the conduction of the various nerves will be found under the heading A naesthesia, conduction, technique, each nerve being specified. The anatomical description of the distribution of the nerves will be found under the heading Nerves. 1trust the Index may be found of some practical value to the reader. RONALD E. S. KROHN.
