Of the solution are injected into the sacral canal and the sacral foramina, according to their Size and the Size of the nerve trunk to be blocked. The greatest amount Should thus be injected into the first foramen and the quan tity reduced for each successive foramen, that is, 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 c.c., respectively. From 75 to 140 c.c. Of the per cent solution have given uniformly complete anesthesia. When 1 per cent strength is employed, as in the average case, 20 to 25 c.c. Are injected into the sacral canal, and the posterior foramina are injected in the same ratio as with the per cent solution. From 60 to 90 c.c. Of a l per cent solution have, in all cases, produced complete physiologic block.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
