The pumping outfit is detached when theapparatus is in operation (Matas). Conditions may, however, arise in which, through lack of facili-ties or lack of technic, vein anesthesia cannot be carried out, andamputation or other extensive operation on the peripheral part is PRINCIPLES OF TECHNIC 177 necessary, and yet, owing to unhealthy conditions of the tissues,nephritis, diabetes, etc., particularly when complicated by cardiacor pulmonary disease, it is desirable to reduce the number of incisionsto a minimum; in such conditions, when the field of operation is in theregion of large nerves, a combined method of procedure may beresorted to by first thoroughly edematizing the entire thickness of thelimb; the large nerve-trunks can then be sought for as the operationprogresses and blocked by an intraneural injection, slightly proximalto the field by slightly stronger solutions than that used for the in-filtration, when they can be then safely divide
