Book Description
Excerpt from The New York Journal of Medicine, 1859, Vol. 6 Dr. Van Buren had, some years ago, a similar case in a sailor 95 years old, who had recently returned from a voyage, and was carried to St. Vincent's Hospital in very much the same state as the lady whose case has just been related. He was nearly suffocated, and was making violent efforts at inspira tion, when tracheotomy was performed with entire relief, the tube being left in the larynx for seven or eight days.
