DRINK RESTRICTION HELD SURGERY AID Saves Victims of Brain In- juries From Feeble-Minded- ness, Says Professor. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Sclence Editor. NEW YORK, October 14.—How re- ion of drinking water is saving s of head and brain injuries from | ceblemindedness and death was re- | ported to the American College of Sur- to k restriction is one of the | st practical applications of recent | coveries about water metabolism, the | manner in which the body converts water to its uses. | It reveals that there are occasions | even the satisfaction of the well n craving of wounded for water v be injurious or even fatal. | Temple University the new treat- has been tried upon 231 per- | ulting in Injured persons, who formerly unable to return to work for a or more, have been restored to jobs in three months. | Escane Loss of Memory. | They have escaped most of the dull | headaches and the tendency to_inat- tention and loss of memory which was | observed in the former methods of | treatment 1 ‘hese cases were reported by Temple | M. D., professor of neuro-surgery, | nder whose direction a group of the | univesity scientists developed the new | technique. | Reduction of water, Dr. Fay ex- | plained, reduces the pressure upon the v pressure is not reduced the supply of oxygen is curtailed. Merely reducing the pressure often re- ieves the necessity for serious surgical tions. . Fay told of one patient who | while recovering drank two glasses of water surreptitiously and shortly aft- erward became unconscious. His life was then saved with difficulty. The water restriction is practiced for months and occasionally for years. Restricted to 20 Ounces Daily. | Some are restricted to 20 ounces daily, which Dr. Fay called the “thirst point.” Others received about 30 ounces. The average normal adult | drinks 36 to 40 ounces of water daily. Commenting on the dangers of fail- | ure to recognize this action of water, Dr. Fay said: “If we are not going | to protect the brain afterward, it seems almost criminal to save the patient's life and then send him back into the | world with the risk that he will be- come a dependent because of mental incompetence.” | A plan for grading surgeons accord- ing to the death rate among _their patients was proposed by Carl E. Black, M. D.. of Jacksonville, Ill. At present he said, no standardized methnd exisis for comparing mortalities from surgical operations in all hospitals | He urged a uniform system, so that the hospital where the mortality rate ared high, in contrast to that of hospitals, could fix_the responsi- take steps to eliminate those surg: were unfit, or encourage them mprove their methods.
