Intravenous Pituitrin
نویسنده
چکیده
an almost moribund condition, I used intravenous injections of quinine bihydrochloride grs. 10 in 10 c.c. of normal saline with 10 minims of adrenalin chloride solution added. The injections were given very slowly at the rate of 1 c.c. per minute. In several other cases associated with collapse I used pituitrin 1 c.c. in 5 c.c. of normal saline, given slowly at the rate of about 2 c.c. per minute, without having ever noticed any of the untoward symptoms referred to in the correspondence. My practice has been to prepare the normal saline with doubly distilled water, and to stock it in 5 c.c. and 10 c.c. ampoules for ready use in emergency cases. I seal the ampoules on a spirit lamp with a blowpipe. With a little practice this can easily be done in the mofussil.?Yours, etc., S. N. GUHA, l.c.p.s.
