World War I is widely regarded as the first modern war, driven by
fearful new technologies of mechanized combat. The unprecedented
carnage rapidly advanced military medicine, transforming the nature
of wartime caregiving and paving the way for modern nursing
practice. Drawing on firsthand accounts of American nurses, as well
as their Canadian and British counterparts, this powerful study
describes WWI nurses' encounters with devastating new forms of
war-related injury --wounds from high-explosive artillery shells,
poison gas burns, "shell shock," the Spanish Flu--and the
interventions and technologies they deployed in treating them,
including the Carrel-Dakin method of deep wound irrigation, the
Balkan frame, and the Ohio Monovalve gas anesthesia machine.
