This is a cannula without a pricket for a Bier's syringe set used for administering spinal anaethesia. Bier used cocaine and then procaine but the procedure was not popular until the early 1950's with the introduction lidocaine, which was far safer. Bier experimented on himself and suffered a lumbar puncture headache that lasted 8 days. The anaesthetic in the procedure was injected into the lumbar region beyond the epidural space, which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), through the dura and into the spinal column and the subarachnoidal space (spatium), where the spinal cord and nerve roots are surrounded by CSF. The kit contains a 20 cl glass syringe two large cannulas for adults with prickets, this smaller one for children without a pricket and a caustic case. | 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: | SCIENTIFIC COLLECTION : | 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 |
