A high dose of local anesthetic, typically lidocaine or prilocaine without adrenaline, [6] is slowly injected as distally as possible into the exsanguinated limb. The veins are filled with the anesthetic, with the anesthetic setting into local tissue after approximately 6–8 minutes, after which the surgery, reduction , or manipulation of the ...
In 1908, Bier pioneered the use of intravenous regional anesthesia, [2] [3] a technique which is commonly referred to as a "Bier block". [4] This technique is frequently used for operations of brief duration upon the hand, wrist, and forearm. It can also be used for operations of brief duration upon the foot, ankle, and leg. [2] [3]
S-2 58 engines built 1949–1950; S-4 14 engines built 1953; RS-2 2 engines built 1949, and later sold to Lehigh Valley Railroad; RSD-5 26 engines built 1952; RS-1 2 engines built 1953
Esmarch bandage (also known as Esmarch's bandage for surgical haemostasis or Esmarch's tourniquet) in its modern form is a narrow (5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) wide) soft rubber bandage that is used to expel venous blood from a limb (exsanguinate) that has had its arterial supply cut off by a tourniquet. The limb is often elevated as the elastic ...

In 1978, one engine was rebuilt with a FIAT A-230-12 diesel engine replacing the original ALCO 251 engine block. In 1980/1981, 16 other locomotives were rebuilt with 251-C MLW engines imported from Canada. Materfer would later use shop space at an Electro-Motive Diesel plant in Argentina to build new engine blocks for use in the RSD-16's.
The ALCO RS-2 is a 1,500–1,600 horsepower (1,100–1,200 kW) B-B diesel-electric locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) from 1946 to 1950. ALCO introduced the model after World War II as an improvement on the ALCO RS-1. [2] Between 1946 and 1950, 377 examples of the RS-2 were built, primarily for American and Canadian ...
This locomotive, classified by ALCO as model DL-701, was their first high-horsepower road switcher, [1] intended to be a replacement for the very popular RS-3 road switcher. Featuring a V-12, 1,800 hp (1,300 kW) 251B diesel engine, the RS-11 was ALCO's answer to EMD's very successful GP9 .
