Figs. 677 and678 serve to call attentionto the anatomical featuresof the trouble. Fig. 679 shows another dangerous position of the arms during anesthesia — this positionbeing liable to lead to peripheral paralysis, from pressure by the edge of thetable. The dressing of the abdominal wound consists of a large thick dressing ofsterile gauze over the wound (Figs. 680, 681), next to that a layer of sterileabsorbent cotton (Fig. 682) covering the anterior surface of tlie abdomen, over.
