Excerpt from Text-Book of Local Ansæthesia: For Students and Practitioners In presenting a translation of Professor Hirschel's Text-book of Local Anæsthesia, 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 "conduction-anæsthesia" instead of the more usual rendering "regional anæsthesia, " as it seems to me that the former gives a more correct rendering of the German term "Leitungsanæsthesie, " and further corresponds more nearly to such terms as "infiltration-anæsthesia, " "spinal anæsthesia, " "epidural anæsthesia, " &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 anæsthesia by interrupting the conduction of the various nerves will be found under the heading "Anæsthesia, conduction, technique, " each nerve being specified. The anatomical description of the distribution of the nerves will be found under the heading "Nerves." I trust the Index may be found of some practical value to the reader.
