Morphia And Chloroform Narcosis

A method practiced by Prof. Thiersch, of Leipsic, succeeds often in inducing a perfect. analgesia without unconsciousness. Morphine is first hypoder-mically injected, and in from five to seven minutes afterwards the patient is very lightly chloroformed till near the stage of excitement; the operation is performed; as soon as pain is felt, if the operation is a prolonged one, a little chloroform is added. In this manner not the tenth part of chloroform is needed, and it is claimed that the operation is as painless as under full chloroform narcosis, and there is no risk of danger incurred. Men receive one-half a grain of morphine, women one-quarter of a grain, children one-twelfth to one-eighth of a grain.

Cocaine-Chloroform Narcosis

This consists essentially in the combined use of cocaine and chloroform, and is strongly favored by Prof. Obolinski, of Cracow, who injects either before or after the anaesthesia is obtained, from one to three centigrammes of cocaine; or he injects in the neighborhood of the seat of the operation, and during its progress, from three to seven centigrammes. Cocaine is used on the ground that it is a complete antagonist of chloroform and chloral; but it is not so regarded by others, who represent it to be a general excitor of the central nervous gray matter, rather than a direct and powerful stimulator of the heart, while its stimulant effect upon respiration is not to be depended upon. Prof. Obolinski claims that this mixed narcosis secures anaesthesia with the use of less chloroform, and that vomiting is prevented, and there are fewer disagreeable after-effects.

Dental Uses

Chloroform is employed in dental practice as a general anaesthetic, also as a local anaesthetic, for which purpose it is generally combined with other agents; as an anodyne and antispasmodic, either locally applied or the vapor inhaled, as in the treatment of convulsions of dentition, for which it is a very efficient remedy.
