Laryngotomy in Chloroform Asphyxia

Cases of Laryngotomy and Tracheotomy

the night previous to the attack, and that two of his co-villagers have died of the same disease within a month. At 9-3 A. M. laryngotomy was at once performed by Dr. Roy under chloroform, and the tube inserted. A gush of air and frothy mucus, surcharged with blood, came out with the first and subsequent efforts of expiration through the tube. The patient felt immediate relief after operation, ...

Solvation pressure in chloroform.

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of chloroform vapor and liquid at normal temperature and pressure and liquid under hydrostatic pressure are presented, giving bond lengths and vibrational frequencies as functions of pressure. The change in bond lengths between vapor and liquid at normal temperature and pressure is consistent with a pressure equivalent to the cohesive energy density (CED) of ...

Traumatic asphyxia in children.

Two cases of traumatic asphyxia in young children are reported. The first was a 2 year old child run over at low speed by the front wheels of a delivery van. He made an uncomplicated recovery. The second child was pinned to the floor by an empty chest of drawers in an unwitnessed accident. He was discovered in cardiac arrest and resuscitation was unsuccessful.
