Text Appearing Before Image:
Management of Paquelin's cautery The Paquelin thermo-cautery is frequently used to sear the bleeding surface left by the removal of the tumor. The nurse may be called upon to prepare the cautery and have it in readiness. The finest point being fitted to the handle, it should be allowed to rest over the flame of an alcohol lamp until well heated. The rubber bulb at the end of the tube may then be compressed repeatedly and rather rapidly by the nurse until the point of the

Thermo Cautery (Paquelin's).
cautery becomes red hot. The vial containing benzine—or benzol, a cruder product of the same kind—should be kept at a safe distance from the lamp and from the red-hot point, as the fluid is inflammable. The vial is usually provided with a hook, by which it may be fastened to a button-hole in the waist of the nurse's dress. One hand is then free for compression of the bulb and the other holds the cautery by its wooden handle. When the point of the cautery is red hot it may be removed from the flame of the lamp and the heat kept up by compression of the bulb, which forces the vapor of the benzol into contact with the lower portion of the cautery. When the point seems to be getting cold rapid compression of the bulb will again heat it up. After the surgeon has finished with the use of the cautery it should be heated to a white heat by rapid compression of the bulb and the tubing pulled off the handle while it is still hot. This sudden cooling helps to preserve the point.
