Infiltration ansesthesia must also in-crease blood-pressure temporarily, when considerable tensionof the tissues is developed. The cocainization of large nerve-trunks will be considered under the prophylaxis of shock. BLOOD-PRESSURE DURING OPERATIONS 265 Cocainization of the spinal cord, according to Gushing, mayinduce dangerous hypotension, through paralyzing, in theupper dorsal region, the efferent nerve-fibres which control thesplanchnic circulation. Application of cocain to the medulla. Fig. 66.—Excision of hydeooelb sag attek spinal cocainization.(Authors sphygm. 12 cm.)

Apart from the possible direct vaso-motor paraly-sis, these operations show little pressure variation (see Fig. 66).B. Influence of the Operative Procedures, a. Peripheral Opera-tions.—All cutting involves the irritation of peripheral nerve-endings, which, as a rule, provokes reflex vaso-constriction,just as in
