The operating room and the patient; a manual of pre- and post-operative treatment . low the lobe of the ear to the cheek, upward over thecheek to the glabella, thence obliquely over the frontal andparietal regions of the opposite side to the occiput, formingturn number one; a fronto-occipital turn is then made. Turnnumber two is the same as turn number one, save that it ascendsabove it by one-third its width. It will be found more comfort-able for the patient if the second and subsequent turns cover inthe ear instead of passing below it, as in the case of the first 80 OPERATING ROOM AND THE PATIEXT turn. These turns are repeated, alternating with the fronto-occipital turns, until the eye is entirely covered in. A fewfronto-occipital turns complete the bandage. Bandage for Both Eyes.—The initial extremity of the bandage(Fig. 53) is fixed by one or more fronto-occipital turns. Fromthe occiput the roller is passed under the lobe of one ear to thecheek, upward upon the cheek to the glabella, covering in thefirst eye, and thence obliquely across the opposite frontal and.

From the occiput the roller is passed up over the parietaland frontal regions to the glabella, thence, over the second eye,obliquely down the cheek, beneath the lobe of the ear, to theocciput. Again a fronto-occipital turn is made. These turnsare repeated first over one eye and then over the other eye,each succeeding turn covering in tvvo-thirds of the precedingturn, and being alternated by a fronto-occipital turn. Theseturns are continued until the eyes are completely covered. Thefronto-occipital turn may be omitted.
