Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Laryngology, Rhinology, and Otology: As Analytical Record of Current Literature Relating to the Throat, Nose, and Ear
Dr. Pilcher of Brooklyn also gave an exceedingly interesting and fair reproduction of the views at present held, and reading between the lines it is impossible to ignore the fact that, while a few years ago such a discussion on the other side of the Atlantic would have been nearly all intubation, now it seems to be part intubation and part tracheotomy. One of the most interesting points brought out in the discussion was by Dr. Lovett, namely, that of cases of tracheotomy collected by him 28 per cent. Had recovered. It is evident that a comparison between the two methods of operation can only be arrived at accurately when careful statistics of both have been obtained, and we must wait yet for further results before coming to a definite conclusion.
