IN A CONSIDERATION of the safest methods of administration of general anesthesia in children, intratracheal, spinal, rectal and intravenous can be dismissed at once as being too dangerous, or at least, as not having been proved conclusively to be safe for them. All authorities seem quite agreed that the safest method of producing general anesthesia in children is by inhalation. When local anesthesia is used, the infiltration method is the only one generally recommended. R. E. Farr, of Minneapolis, reports success with local anesthesia in ninety per cent of his operations on children.
