Relief By Catheterism

3326

Take a stiff catheter, No. 8 or No. 10, with the right hand, and using the left index finger in position as a guide, pass the instrument into the larynx. Be sure that the eyes of the instrument are well beyond the vocal cords. The assistant now extends the patient's arms above the head, the operator at the same time blowing up the lungs through the catheter. The arms are next brought down, and expiration accomplished by compressing the chest and abdomen. A respiratory act is thus accomplished. The procedure is continued with regularity, so as to simulate, as nearly as possible, the normal respiratory interval. The insufflation through the catheter must be done gently.
