Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the treatment of head wounds that involve the skull, providing valuable insights into the practices and beliefs of surgeons in the 18th century. The author challenges the widespread practice of applying trephines to the skull based on the assumption that inflammation and putrefaction of the dura mater, caused by concussions, was the primary cause of death in such cases. Through careful observation and analysis of post-mortem examinations, the author argues that the meninges and the brain are more commonly affected, and that immediate trephining is not always the most effective treatment. The book advocates for a more nuanced approach that considers the specific nature of the injury and the individual patient's response. It emphasizes the importance of employing a combination of treatments, including copious bleeding, purging, and sedatives, to prevent or alleviate inflammation and promote recovery. The author also highlights the crucial role of a low regimen and avoidance of irregular living in ensuring the patient's well-being. This book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of head wound management in the 18th century. It challenges prevailing theories, presents alternative approaches, and stresses the importance of a holistic understanding of the patient's condition for effective treatment.
