Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Surgical Nursing: A Guide to Modern Surgical Technic In presenting this volume to the nursing and hospital world, I do so with some trepidation. I am not so fatuous as to believe I am imparting information to such a degree as will enable the student or graduate nurse to gain possession of all that is requisite for a nurse engaged in surgical nursing. The foremost thought has been to impart essential basic principles that will enable a nurse to acquire a reliable fundamental knowledge. Possessed of facts and conversant with their administrative principles, the attainment of perfection will be readily acquired by conscientious work, enlarged experience, collateral reading, and study. With but one or two exceptions I have purposely omitted all discussion of the literature devoted to surgical nursing. The subject matter may in places reflect previous expressions and opinions, but upon the whole the text is based upon the authors personal conclusions and experiences, and the views that have been acquired by perusal of the surgical literature which has appeared from time to time in current literature and proven satisfactory in our operative work. Throughout the presentation of this entire subject my endeavor has been to impart facts briefly and concisely, so that the instruction would not be lost in a maze of descriptive and lengthy text. Unusual, obsolete, and unimportant methods have been purposely omitted in an effort to present the primary and pertinent points. The sole purpose has been to describe recognized principles of technic, accepted plans of procedure and treatment as they exist in present-day practice of surgery and surgical nursing. To advance all the viewpoints and methods of surgeons and instructors of nurses would be impracticable. Instead, I have endeavored to present practical methods that would be applicable in the majority of instances.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Surgical Nursing: A Guide to Modern Surgical Technic The recovery of a patient undergoing an operation is dependent to a large extent upon the technique that is employed and observed during the entire surgical procedure. It is by reason of the high development of present-day surgical technique that many of the operations now under taken result in a low mortality, whereas, the same operations a few years ago either produced a high mortality or were not attempted. Further more, many procedures are now possible which formerly were not to be considered, because a fatal ending invariably resulted by reason of infection.
