우리나라의 구급치료에 관한 고찰 - 특히 신찬구급 간이방을 중심으로

Abstract

In olden days of Korea the government published, as a kind of public -healths activity, medical books for those living in rural secluded areas where no medical man was available. In the medical books thus published are included seven kinds of handbooks on emergency treatments. Most of them, however, have been lost or are now in the custody of the Japanese authorities. As to "Revised Synopsis of Emergency Treatments," we are fortunate to have found the 1st and 6th volume in Korea out of the whole 8 volumes and to be able to survey, though roughly, what was the emergency treatments in those days. The 1st volume consists of the general table of con. tents and the treatments on apolpexic crisis, sudden interrupion of respiration, high fever and so on which endanger human life. In the 6th volume are lined up the treatments in cases that men swallowed foreign bodies or are sticken by them and that men are bitten by wild or domestic beasts and others. Looking around the general contents, in this handbook are mostly described on medical, surgical, gynetocological and pediatric diseases and a little bit on E. N.T., ophthalmological and dental diseases, all of which are those customarily seen in our daily lives. For the treatments were applied mostly the simple remedies which were easily obtainable. The treatments. for apoplexic crisis, sudden interuption of respiration, high fever are unreasonable and miscellaneous. However,. in cases of drawning and trauma they knew through experiences the treatments and drugs which seem to be comparatively effective.
