McCARDIE 1
 

 

William Joseph McCardie (1865-1939) was England's first anesthesiologist to live outside of the capital, London, exclusively by administering narcosis. One of his peculiarities was to demand the same fee as the surgeon - in the industry it is usual to settle for half! Unlike other narcotists, he used only sterilized masks. The mask developed by him served to induce anesthesia by ether, and b. to add some chloroform. He was from 1910-12 the second president of the Royal Society of Medecine was "tutor in anaestetics" at the University of Birmingham from 1912-1920.


Around 1900, McCARDIE developed the mask named after him, which made his work easier and did not bother the patient: "as safe as possible for the patient and at the same time as easy as I can for myself", as he put it. The many solder joints indicate that one of the weak points of the wire rack was its instability. Also, the four arches at the top center were gathered together by means of a thread when we bought the mask 2017 on Ebay (origin: Cheraw, South Carolina, USA). Incidentally, the seller stated "Bellamy-mask".



A mask of the same type is exhibited in London at the Museum of Anesthetics Society: "McCrappie Ether Mask is in the Association Museum, having been published by the Australian Society." McCardie invented several pieces of apparatus including a sterilizable rebreathing bag and a sterilizable ether inhaler. Skinner describes the situation of every patient in the same mouthpiece, tube and chamber ...

Strietzel had the Dr. med. Frank, who also tried for about 33 minutes to put the patient in a narcotic state.

Nevertheless Dr. Frank ordered that P. not be allowed to take a drop of chloroform any more. After the removal of the doctor, the defendant pressed the patient's mask, soaked in chloroform, firmly on the pen, saying: "Now let's do it alone. the young physicians are always far too anxious. "Patzwood then fell into a deep anesthetic, which lasted more than an hour, in which Strietzel took out 13 teeth, and when the patient awoke and paid 14 marks for the business she became as if in the dream home and became seriously ill as a result of the anesthesia, continued vomiting occurred, and the paw-wood suffered from dizziness and headache, so that Dr. Alberti, to whom she turned, found chloroform intoxication finally forced to leave her position and was incapacitated for work until mid-September, when Dr. Frank learned from her later, he brought Strietzel The prosecutor applied for the same eight-month prison sentence.
