Refrigeration Aims to Extend Amputee Limbs in War
Report from St Paul on a new use of cold blankets and a refrigerator ambulance that chills a wounded leg to near freezing. The method allows nerve relief with tourniquet control, reduces pain and infection, and enables higher amputation cuts to preserve more of the leg. Drs Frederick M. Allen and Lawrence W. Smith presented the findings, noting successful ice leg amputations and potential benefits for migraine and cancer patients as well as addiction treatment. This medical advance comes amid broader wartime improvements in battlefield care.
