TY - JOUR AU - Mendelssohn, K. AB - 15 Section of Anaesthetics such mistakes should arose but not occur now that trilene is coloured blue. At the same time, must care be exercised by the theatre staff when emptying and filling the bottles on gas-oxygen apparatus and all concerned should be able to distinguish trilene from chloroform not only by colour but by odour. New developnments in do not to dwell techniquie.-I propose upon the new techniques for giving trichlorethylene which have been worked out by various anaesthetists as I have not had sufficient experience to express an opinion. These include the production of general analgesia in dentistry and midwifery, the single-dose method already described this afternoon by Dr. Galley and the combination with avertin for producing complete relaxation in abdominal surgery. CONCLUSION From the large number of administrations now made, I think we are justified in saying that, within its known limitations, trichlorethylene is a useful agent in the pro- duction of general analgesia and anaesthesia.
