Ether and Chloroform in Convulsions.

Chloroform or Ether?

The question of which is the best and safest general anaesthetic continues to be constantly brought under the notice of the profession by the frequent occurrence of deaths during anaesthesia. The fact that opinions are still so divided shows that a good deal can be said in favour of both chloroform and ether; but one thing stands out pre-eminently, and that is, that when deaths do occur they ar...

A Case of Ether Convulsions

A Case of Puerperal Convulsions. Treated with Chloroform Inhalation

snore loudly, and as she could not be roused, the door was forced, and the girl was found lying flat on the floor quite insensible, her breathing stertorous, eyes semi-closed, jaws locked, features distorted, and a stream of bloody froth running out from both the angles of the mouth, her muscles rigid, her dress saturated with urine, voided involuntarily, with violent convulsions occurring almo...

The Rohrig dropper device for ether or chloroform.

Practicing later as an eye-ear-nose-throat, or EENT, surgeon, John George Rohrig (1883–1933) received his medical doctorate from the University of Iowa in 1909. That same year, he reported his design for a dropper can (left) for ether or chloroform. The large-diameter screw cap allowed rapid reloading of the can with liquid anesthetic. A conical valve permitted finger-control of continuous drop...

SELECTIVE TRANSPORT AND EXTRACTION OF ALKALI METAL CATIONS (Na & K ) THROUGH CHLOROFORM LIQUID MEMBRANE BY DIETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER AND DIETHYLENE GLYCOL DIBUTYL ETHER

A liquid membrane containing diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (2) shows specificity for K ion in transport while diethylene glycol dibutyl ether (1) was selective for Na over K . As an extractant, ligand 2 exhibited pronounced extraction selectivity for K over Na in comparison with ligand 1
