Oxygen Therapy by the Tent Method.*

Anesthetists, New Orleans, La.

Abstract

IT HAS LONG been realized that the administration of oxygen in cases with anoxemia results in benefit to the patient. Early administration, however, was very inefficient, oxygen being given in amounts too small for any material good; and too late, being considered as a last resort; therefore, oxygen was discredited. Even now, the idea among a great number of the laiety is, "That patient is being given oxygen, therefore that patient is going to die. It is only a last resort."
