Unpublished paper. 'Observations on the effects of chloroform and ether on the radial tracing' by C [Charles] Handfield Jones

Reference number: AP/60/11

Date: 1879

Description

Jones finds that the effects of chloroform and ether on the pulse, when employed to produce anaesthesia in surgical operations, vary considerably. Sometimes the heart’s force, estimated by the lowering of the primary rise, with due attention to the spring pressure, is greatly diminished, sometimes it is increased. The rate of the pulse is generally increased.

Marked on front as 'Archives Oct 30/79'.

Subject: Chemistry

Received 11 June 1879.
