ADAM BRYDON <\/strong>MB, ChB, MD Captain Adam Brydon was with the 3rd<\/span>\u00a0Australian General Hospital at Abbeville when he received orders to deploy to the 12th<\/span>\u00a0Casualty Clearing Station to support the Ypres offensive.<\/p>\n On arrival he found hungry, tired and dirty men, with many experiencing shock due to blood loss. Brydon noted many of the patients\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026had never been in hospital before, many had been through the most terrible and trying experiences of battle and had no nerve left to face an operation, and many were in a condition of extreme collapse from the gravity of their injuries.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Ether was the main anaesthetic. The Shipway provided warmed ether, reducing irritation to the respiratory tract. The Shipway also allowed the anaesthetist to add oxygen.<\/p>\n After the war, Brydon returned to study, obtaining an MD from Edinburgh University for his thesis \u201cAnaesthesia in War Surgery\u201d. Brydon worked at the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne and co-authored the first Australian textbook on anaesthesia published in 1932.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#595959″ allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”WWI Image 2″ src=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/shipway-apparatus.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”on” \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”WWI Image 3″ src=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Practical-Anaesthesia.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”on” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Shipway Apparatus [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Practical Anaesthesia [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”on” specialty=”off”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider admin_label=”Fullwidth Slider” show_arrows=”on” show_pagination=”on” auto=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_slide background_image=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/holmes-a-court-intro.jpg” background_color=”#ffffff” alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” allow_player_pause=”off” \/][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”on” background_color=”#595959″ allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/blue-back-texture1.png”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/E02681-Regimental-Aid-Post-near-Hamel1.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Regimental Aid Post, Hamel – AWM – E02681 \u2013 Regimental Aid Post near Hamel, July 1918, photographer unknown<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Blood-Transfusion1.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” url_new_window=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Blood transfusion – L0024142 – Blood Transfusion \u2013 Wellcome Library<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” background_image=”https:\/\/www.geoffreykayemuseum.org.au\/trailblazers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/8425_iStock_000046704306_Double-Colour-web.jpg” transparent_background=”on” background_color=”#ffffff” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off”][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n ALAN HOLMES \u00e1 COURT\u00a0<\/strong>MB, ChM, MD, MRCP, FRCP Dr Alan Holmes \u00e1 Court enlisted as a medical officer in 1916. In 1918, he was with the 4th\u00a0Australian Field Ambulance on the Western Front. As the front advanced, Casualty Clearing Stations (CCS) became further removed from the battlefield.<\/p>\n Holmes \u00e1 Court established Forward Resuscitation Teams. Each team consisted of two doctors trained in anaesthesia, resuscitation, blood classification and transfusion, with four assisting staff.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]<\/p>\n Teams moved out to the wounded, providing on-the-spot, life-saving resuscitation. The wounded were then transported back to the CCS or Regimental Aid Post for further treatment.<\/p>\n Kimpton-Brown flasks were used for immediate blood transfusion and were an essential part of the team\u2019s equipment.<\/p>\n The introduction of citrated blood in 1917 meant blood could be stored for up to two hours. Although there were still problems with transport, storage and infection.<\/p>\n On return to Australia, Holmes \u00e1 Court pioneered blood transfusions in his practice and became the first tutor in anaesthetics at Sydney Hospital.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off”
