SOLDIERS SAVED BY
E
Washington, Feb. 19. "Ca,nned
blood," one ot the remarkable de
velopments ot war surgery, was de
scribed today by the surgoon gen
eral's office for the benefit of the
families ot hundreds of soldiers
whose lives were saved by blood
transfusion. One of the heaviest
causes ot death among wounded sol
diers is hemorrhatM. Immediately
after the United States entered the
war the medical department began
organizing to reduce the number of
.fatuities from this cause.
Development of the use of "can
ned blood" was a direct restirt of
war conditions. During a heavy at
tack It was Impossible to arrange for
transfusions direct from persons, so
the fluid was drawn previously,
stored on ice In sterile flasks and
used In emergency cases. Where
the wounded men could stand It, a
blood substitute was Injected which
sustained life until he could be re
moved to a hospital where more di
rect transfusion could be employed.
