[From Dr. Blundell’s Lectures.)
TRANSFUSION OF BLOOD.
That ilm blood of ono animal m ly bo substi
tuted for tho blood of nnuther auiin.il of the
some species, is u principle which ha* boon plac
ed beyond the shadow of a doubt. Hupeated*
iyj as others befoio mu, I have drained the dog
till it lay iu u state ofapparent dea h, the blood
ceasing ib issue even from a tubule inserted in
to ihe carotid towards the heart, the circulation,
therefore, being entirely arrested. The ani
mal being, m tin* condition,< to all nupeurance
dead, I have transiused from auoiher dog, and
fouAd where (ho operation has been well put-
formed,.that the dog, to all appearanco irrecov
erable, has sot'll ufn.-riv.mls arisen from the ta
ble, a* if it had experienced a resuscitation from
the dead. It is true, indeed, that for two or
three days u little cachexia, or ill-health, has
hung about it; hut, in the course of a few days
more, the animal has seemed to recovor itself
complerely, becoming as well as before tho op
eration was performed.
By many it has been imagined hitherto, that,
in the operation of transfusion, the blood of one
genus of animals may be indifferently substitu
ted for that of nnuther genus; the blood of the
sheep, for instance, for that of the dog; the
blood of tho calf, tor that of u man; a doctrine
which I had myself imbibed. Accordingly, in
somo of tho first experiments which were made,
and which, as far as wo can learn, were by qo
means very successful, the blood of llio bruto
wqs substituted for that of tho human body; but
ii was first suggested to mo by one of my own
rstceinen and respected pupils, Dr. Leacock,
that the blond of one genus of animals may not,
with impunity, be substituted indifferently for
that of nnuther genus. Draining dogs of their
own blood, ho supplied them from The sheep;
and found that, though the animal was rettuci-
aied for a time, tho blond oi dm sheep circula
ting in the veins, and performing the office of
the canine, so that the (log was able to run a-
bout the loom, yet in the courso of ton or twen
ty hours, I speak from memory as to tho tcnn,
the animal invariable died. ’ Read h.s inaugu
ral dissertation, puhlisned at Edinburg a few
years ago; it is well worth attentive perusal.
Consentaneous experiments to bo found at
length in tho “ Researches,” I have myself
made with the human blood, nud, by means of
a proper instrument, intromitted the human
blood iu its place; of those dugs,, one died on
the table; two or threo lived for a few Imuis,
then sinking; and somo smviving for four or
five days, expired, after many cachectic symp
toms. So that, it seems, from expetimeuts of
this sort, that the blood of one genus of nuimals.
cunnot, in largo quantities, be substituted indif
ferently for the blood of another, without oc
casioning the most fatal results. Hence, emi
nently rise a necessity for the employ mem of
the syringe, as tins enublcf ut in hum m ommo:
rhages to use tho human blond; for even though
a horse ora sheep were at hand in a chamber,
ii is very doubtful whether the blood of that
animal would save' a ivom in sinking lruni bleed
ing, aad I am sure it would be dangerous to iry
iL
By a variety of experiments, I lung ago satis
fied myself, even previously to the publtcadon
of the cases already, beforo tue profession, that
blood may bo transmitted . hrougli, tlm syringe
as through the hoart, without becoming unfit
for the purposes of life. Deterioration it suffers,
jt is true, but not such deterioration as may
render it unfit for tho animal body. Several
dogs I have drained so, that they lay in a state
of asphyxia—in truth, appearing to be altogeth
er dead. Dogs thus prepared, I havo replen
ished by the use of the syringe with blood from
other dogs, and they have done us well as if
tranxfusion had been performed by means of
the tube.
There are different ways in which transfusion
may bo performed; the operation ntay bo exe
cuted by means ofu well constructed 2 ouuce
syringe, air secure, made of brass, tinned inter
nally, not offensive with oil, of course perfect
ly clean, and to he used iu the fullowiug man
ner ;—Ono or two bystanders finales are pref
erable to females) being iu readmes to supply
(be requisite quantity of blood, tho arm oi the
patient should bo prepared as followstaking
a scalpel, at one cui, if tolerably dexterous, wo
lay bare the bleeding vain, which opens on the
eye under the knife, ;.ho patient being su far
from suffering in this part of the operation, that
frequently sho is not awiue that it has been
done. The vessel manifesting itself, we tuke
a short incurvatod probe, which wo slide be
neath it at the lower extremity of the incision;
afterwards, with a well sharpened laucot, lay
ing open the voiu to the extent ot a line, that is
one eighth of an inch; afterwards iutromiitmg,
cautiously, at this orifice the tubule ot tho sy
ringe, so as to satisfy yourselves that when you
operate, tho entrance will be easy; at this titiio
perhaps a little blood ooaes out. This prepa
ration made, we bind up the arm of the peisou
who is to yield the supply of blood, laying o-
pen tho vein in the usual manner, bui marking
the orifice rather free. In a conical tumbler,
of lingo diameter, the blood may bo conven
iently gathered ; and into the syringe, previ
ously washed and chilled by transmission of
water milk warm, the blood is to he absorbed,
as demonstrated, from the point of tlm tumbler
through this long tubule, in such manner that,
although ho whole of the blood is not to bo
taken up lest the air should be drawn, not more
than a desert spoonful is to be allowed to ac
cumulate at once in tho bottom ol tho vessel,
in truth, it i* not in the glass, but the barrel ol
the syringe, that the blood should collect. 1 bis
lube should be long enough to throw the bw-
rel of the syringe above and beyond!™? brim
of die tumbler, *o lb®* b*
out of tho way. Thit it iBy ntRcr ft# veiu
more easily, the end of tlm tubnlo should
lically with Hie tubule above and the h m ile of
ibe piston below, wo slowly urge the piston on
ward, till, ogethor with all uir, about a desert
spoonful of 1)10011 has been expelled ; and tbun
closing nozzle of the apposition tty i )( . rp ,f
the Huger,les>, the pisteu descending by iis own
gravity, fresh uir should be absorbed, wu , ; vo
iho insuuraeni the hornontul, an l pwce.-! to
ins.mine dio blood into the veiu. On appro ail
ing tho arm of the pattern, perhaps wo find i.m
orifice obscured by tho blood; touch ihe vem
With a sp«uge, aud ilio aperture may bn re 4
a* clearly as tlm loner of a book. At ties ijrno
an assistant may goutly press the vein, where
pt dies across ihe pi ube,'which wilt lntercep a
furilior exudation, for die circulutou is so ..v,
that it is easily arres t'd. These pi efnnin if •%
premised, without trepidation, with the^c.ihn
and measured movement of mini mJ bij,, ho
result, nut of more uiiiinal spin.s, bn of that
confiihnico wuieh arises from a muni well pre
pared, we proceed to deliver the blood, cm-
tiuus not to interpose unnecessary delay. For
tilt* purpose, the tuhulo being insinuited iu:o
tho vein, to tho extent of half an inch towards
the heart, it is our next oflko to infuse the blood
into the vessel, nnd veiy uice and critical is
this point of ho operation. What the hpqrt in
Women or men might boar in a state of vigor I
know not, but reduced as it is in those r ises,
feeble us the litnb which refuses to sustain them,
it cannot support a sudden influx of the blood.
To infuse too slowly is an error no doubt, fur
lying in (he syringe the blood every moment is
becoming more ninf more deteriorated; but to
injec tou rapidly is a still more fatal error;
gorge the cardiag,cavities, and tho patient may
ioiisIi as suddenly as if shot through the hoart.
With moderated velocity it is that die blood
should be infused, add most cautiously, whoa
the collapse is great. Iu pressing ffinvard the
piston, trom moment to moment, fix your eye
on the countenance, nnd if all is well, then pro*
coed more boldly; but, iftbu lip quiver, or ;ho
eyelid flicker, or if lliure bu restlessness or
vomiting, though these are not fatal symptons,
yet it is bettor to suspend the operation until
they subside, as in the present stale of our in
form nion lliure is good cause for alarm, nnd let
mo add, (hat after waiting in this mnmor, wo
must not roturn to tho injunction, until wo ii v6
procured it fresh supply ot blood. If thufi.st
two ounces load, it is hotter to wait a few nun-
u.es, say six or,eight, before more is iujectud $
but if these first two ounces are well recoi veil
by the system, we proceed immediately n in
ject other two ifierwards, waiting for eigh. or
ten minutes, till the whole have duly circulated
over the body, and, iu some measure, at bust,
havo renewed its vigor; under tho extram a of
weakness, this caution becomes especially ua-f
cons iry. Sixteen ounces of blood lor the I’q-
male system is a large aggregate quantity—
eight or ten are more sparing; four or tjve may, *
in dolicato ca .ns, turn tbe scale in our favur.
If our object is simply to save life, the smaller
quantities muv be injected ; if to restore vigor,
tlm larger. The enu nice of a siuglo bubble of
air, though not fatal, is ilwiyg to be deprocit- ‘
ed. If the respiration be stopped it i», I finr,
in vain to transfuse ; if respire ion is at its last
gasp, die hope .s small—a sudden influx of two
ouncos would, I dunk, certainly^’destroy in these
cases. Would tho heart be ir at proper int r-
vals doses of half an ounce? If tbe resp. ration be
steady, we are almost ce tun of success.
