Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History, Pathology, and Treatment of Puerperal Fever and Crural Phlebitis Much has been written of late years on the subject child bed sever, whereby a great light has been shed upon the pathological features of several disorders heretofore designated under this title. These disorders are inflammation of the substance of the womb; inflammation of the veins of the womb; inflammation of the absorbents of the same organ; and lastly, inflammation of the peritoneum: or several of these affections conjoined and grouped in the same subject. One of the most general and comprehensive terms is puerperal fever; a name said to have been first bestowed upon these affections by Dr. Edward Strother, an English writer, in his Crilicon Febrium, or a Critical Essay on Fevers, with the Diagnostics and Methods of Cure, 1 vol. Svo. Loud. 1716. Strother wrote in the somewhat quaint style of his age; and, as his name has been often cited by authors upon the subject under consideration, I shall here quote the principal part of what he has left us upon the topic. "Puerperal fevers, are shelves poor females are often stav´d upon. They are generally inflammatory from the inflammation of the uterus, which arises from the suppression of the lochia. Custom has prevail´d among the ignorant and obstinate midwives to allow the laborants chikens, and such diet as they pretend cannot prejudice them; to rise out of bed three days after their labour, and to take some turns across the chamber; from whence I have seen the lochia stopt or lessen´d, and thence deliria or dangerous fevers; and yet´tis easy to prevent these, if the ladies can be aw´d. ´Tis common for hard labours to produce them, as I have often known. If we are called in immediately after the mistake, it may be prevented by giving them tincture of castor or spirits of hartshorn in rue water, & c., and, giving them their diet lean, and so disposing them to sweat. But when the fever is begun, if they be plethoric, and the fever of the warm species, bleed in the arm and then in the foot, and after this throw in emollient glysters to dilate (by manner of a lotus) the orifices of the glands of the uterus, whence the lochia vi flow afresh.
