Abstract

1.
1. Clinical experience with tetraethylammonium (bromide or choride) has demonstrated its efficiency in producing blockade of the autonomic ganglia to a degree comparable to that obtained following the usually accepted methods of producing a sympathetic block.
2.
2. A large and varied series of peripheral vascular and allied disorders have been studied utilizing this drug as a method of producing either a temporary or prolonged sympathetic block to improve circulation or ameliorate pain of circulatory origin. This drug has proved satisfactory in producing both of these desired results.
