Scopolamine-Morphine Anesthesia: And a Psychological Study of Twilight Sleep, Made by the Giessen Method (1915)

Scopolamine-Morphine Anesthesia: And A Psychological Study Of Twilight Sleep, Made By The Giessen Method (1915) is a book written by Bertha Van Hoosen. The book delves into the use of scopolamine and morphine as an anesthetic during childbirth and the psychological effects of the Giessen method of administering it. The Giessen method involved giving the patient a combination of scopolamine and morphine, which would induce a state of ""twilight sleep"" where the patient would be conscious but unaware of their surroundings. Van Hoosen, a physician and advocate for women's health, conducted a study on the use of this method and its effects on patients. The book provides a detailed analysis of the study's findings and also discusses the history of anesthesia and its use during childbirth. Overall, Scopolamine-Morphine Anesthesia: And A Psychological Study Of Twilight Sleep, Made By The Giessen Method (1915) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of anesthesia and the use of scopolamine and morphine as an anesthetic during childbirth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
