Página 123 - ... of the lower animals, in which the organ was exposed, and the exact influence exercised by it was observed. From these experiments it was shown that galvanism exercises a remarkable and peculiar influence upon the uterine fibre, and it further appeared, after many observations, that this was most powerfully exercised when the galvanic current was directed longitudinally through the uterus from the upper portion of the spinal cord in a sustained and continuous manner. The local application of...
Página 124 - ... 1. That a sustained current of electricity of moderate intensity, passed through the gravid uterus in the manner described, exercises a remarkable influence in increasing the tonicity and contractility of the uterine fibre. 2. That in such increased tonicity or contractility of the uterine fibre, so excited and sustained, we have a powerful and reliable means of moderating and controlling uterine haemorrhage, whether of the accidental or unavoidable variety, and of simultaneously accelerating...
Página 124 - The second was a case of placenta prsevia, in which several alarming haemorrhages had occurred before labour had commenced. In this a sustained current, applied in the manner stated for six hours, not only prevented any further haemorrhage, but so accelerated the dilatation of the os uteri, that the hand was readily introduced, and delivery completed with safety to the patient, although the child, from the extensive separation of the placenta, was still-born. In a third, excessive haemorrhage had...
Página 123 - In this every available means had been tried to stimulate the uterus and control haemorrhage without success, and the patient's condition had at length become highly critical. In this emergency a sustained current of electricity was directed longitudinally through the uterus from the upper portion of the spinal cord, and under its influence the cervix uteri became relaxed, and expanded after the first application, and uterine action set in after the second, which was followed by the expulsion of...

DuBois Reymond, by a series of experiments...
