Sebileau is quoted to the effect that "there is no operation, however slight, that even in the hands of the most cautious and skilful surgeon may not prove fatal." In this little monograph, the physiology and histology of the blood are discussed, as well as the theories regarding coagulation. The author mentions briefly the various conditions in which spontaneous hemorrhage may occur as well as those in which there is some delay in clotting time. The medical treatment of diseases such as hemophilia, with injection of serum, is discussed. Considerable detail is given to the treatment of operative or postoperative bleeding, the ligation of vessels, and the transfusion of blood. The latter is thoroughly discussed, SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1933.02740330061037 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1933.02740330061037 ER -
