When the pa-tients Hfe is jeopardized by profuse hemorrhage in the rectum,the result of either disease or operation, and the bleeding ves-sels cannot be exposed and ligated after everting the anus oruse of the speculum, time should not be wasted in experiment-ing, but some form of pressure should immediately be can sometimes be done speedily by inserting into the rec-tum a piece of firm, rubber tubing, three inches ( centi- 478 DISEASES OF THE RECTUM AND ANUS meters) long and three-fourths of an inch ( centimeter)in diameter, around which has been wrapped several layers ofgauze (Fig. 160). This can be kept in place by attachingthe outer end to a T-bandage by means of a safety-pin.
