Tetanus. Analysis of 1458 Cases, which occurred in Home Military Hospitals during the years 1914—1918

The purpose of this paper is to place on record the available figures relating to cases of tetanus which occurred in Home Military Hospitals during the Great War of 1914–1918. It may be considered that some of the tables give no very useful or practical information, but they are nevertheless recorded in order that medical officers at the outbreak of some future war may have the opportunity of learning what was done for the prevention and treatment of tetanus during this war. For example nothing can be gained from a study of the figures given in this analysis with regard to the curative or therapeutic value of antitetanic serum, but it may be of some antiquarian interest half a century hence to know the amount given and the mode of administration in the years 1914–1918.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE CURATIVE VALUE OF THE INTRASPINAL ADMINISTRATION OF TETANUS ANTITOXIN

While tetanus antitoxin has proved most efficacious in the prevention of tetanus, its employment as a curative agent has been much less successful. This failure to produce more uniformly good results is chiefly due to its too late administration. Insufficient dosage and the use of the subcutaneous method have also been important factors. While the subcutaneous use of antitoxin, which at first was the usual method employed, may prove of value in large doses given within the first few hours after the onset of symptoms, nevertheless it frequently fails because of slow absorption and the time required to reach the tissues of the central nervous system. In the light of our present knowledge, this method can be justified only by an inability of the physician, for one reason or another, to give an intraspinal or an intravenous injection. The latter method is being more and more recommended, and when employed
