SCIENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
Surgical Safoty
The 19th century surgeon Langen
beek was famous because he could
amputate a limb “in the time needed
to take a pinch of snuff." Skill, the
prime requisite of the modern sur
geon, ranked second to speed until
the advent of anesthesia a century
/*% ago. The surgeon’s
mam1 effort was to
make his patient’s
agonizing Stay on
the operating ta
ble as short as pos
sible — regard
less of the dam
f 7 - ;**. A. v, age he inflicted,
\ : 1 ’ S3 The patient’s
chance of recovery under these prim
itive conditions was further dras
tically reduced -by the threat of
infection, which was a major killer
before the development of modern
hygienic measures. As late as the
mid-19th century, post-operative
infection killed almost half of all
amputation cases.
Even under today's antiseptic
conditions, infection is still a threat.
Tests have shown that even in a
well-run operating room as many as
50,000 germs can fall in the “sterile
field” within the space of 11 hours.
Fortunately, science has provided
an effective weapon against the
threat. Antibiotics like Terramycin,
administered before and after an
operation, will protect the surgical
patient from infection.
A striking illustration is the
sharply declined death rate in peri
tonitis. A complication of the com
mon appendectomy, peritonitis for
merly exacted an appalling toll.
With the advent of antibiotics, mor
tality from this disease has been
slashed to negligible proportions.
Such chemical weapons are giving
special point to the statement by the
famous English surgeon, Moynihan:
“We have made surgery safe for the
patient. We must now make the
jatient safe for surcerv.”
ENGLISH ARRIVES TO
BEGIN TEACHING
Thomas Saunders English, in
structor in fishery biology with
the wildlife management depart
ment, arrived on the University
of Alaska campus last week to
begin his teaching duties. He
-spent the past four months on an
ice floe in the arctic pack near
the center of the North Polar ba
sin. English AVill teach hydrobio
logy and invertebrate zoology, and
work on an expanded fisheries
program at the University.
