Description: | none MANU Unsigned. early 20th century Burney-Yeo's orinasal inhaler is a light mask fitting over the nose and mouth, is made of perforated zinc. It contains a small sponge upon which a few drops of volatile antiseptic or sedative, such as preparations of creosote, chloroform, iodine, eucalyptus or turpentine would be applied from time to time. It was used for continuous inhalation, and was formerly much employed in the treatment of phthisis (any wasting disease), and bronchiectasis (inflammation of the lung). In cases of angina pectoris it was used for the administration of amyl nitrate. This small mask also helped to hide the odours associated with severe infections. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | INHALER : DIAGNOSIS : SURGERY : GLASGOWCOLLEGEOFNURSING : TEACHING : TRAINING : BURNEY-YEO : ANTISEPTIC : SEDATIVE : RESPIRATORYCOMPLAINTS : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
