Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of wounds inflicted on the thorax, the cavity containing the heart and lungs. The author Herman Boerhaave, considered one of the most important physicians of the 18th century, posits that one should verify whether a wound on the thorax has penetrated the cavity by observing if air can pass through it, using a probe, and by injecting warm liquid which should return if the cavity is not affected. The author lays out the many consequences that may arise from having a wound that penetrates the cavity, including the collection of pus in the cavity if the wound does not heal cleanly, or the hemorrhage and putrefaction of the blood from within the chest, which can corrupt the surrounding organs and even lead to death. The author's insights into these wounds are groundbreaking for the time and provide an important foundation for subsequent research into penetrating chest wounds.
