Publisher's Synopsis
The Treatment Of Infected Wounds is a book written by Alexis Carrel in 1917. The book is a detailed account of Carrel's research on surgical techniques for treating infected wounds, which were a major problem during World War I. Carrel was a French surgeon who worked with the American Red Cross during the war, and he developed a new method of treating wounds that involved washing the wound with a saline solution and then applying a dressing soaked in a solution of sodium hypochlorite. Carrel's method was highly successful and was widely adopted by military surgeons during the war. The book includes detailed descriptions of Carrel's experiments and the results he achieved, as well as practical advice for surgeons on how to apply his techniques. The book is considered a landmark in the field of wound care and has been widely cited in subsequent medical literature.With Introduction By Anthony A.
